This org file is my literate configuration for GNU Emacs, and is
-tangled to [[./init.el][init.el]]. Packages are installed and managed using
-[[https://github.com/emacscollective/borg][Borg]]. Over the years, I've taken inspiration from configurations of
-many different people. Some of the configurations that I can remember
-off the top of my head are:
+tangled to [[./init.el][init.el]]. Packages are installed and managed using
+[[https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el][straight.el]]. Over the years, I've taken inspiration from
+configurations of many different people. Some of the configurations
+that I can remember off the top of my head are:
- [[https://github.com/dieggsy/dotfiles][dieggsy/dotfiles]]: literate Emacs and dotfiles configuration, uses
straight.el for managing packages
I'd like to have a fully reproducible Emacs setup (part of the reason
why I store my configuration in this repository) but unfortunately out
of the box, that's not achievable with =package.el=, not currently
-anyway. So, I've opted to use Borg. For what it's worth, I briefly
-experimented with [[https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el][straight.el]], but found that it added about 2 seconds
-to my init time; which is unacceptable for me: I use Emacs as my
-window manager (via EXWM) and coming from bspwm, I'm too used to
-having fast startup times.
-
-** Installation
-
-To use this config for your Emacs, first you need to clone this repo,
-then bootstrap Borg, tell Borg to retrieve package submodules, and
-byte-compiled the packages. Something along these lines should work:
-
-#+begin_src sh :tangle no
-git clone https://github.com/aminb/dotfiles ~/.emacs.d
-cd ~/.emacs.d
-make bootstrap-borg
-make bootstrap
-make build
-#+end_src
+anyway. So, I've opted to use =straight.el=. I also used Borg for a
+few months, but decided to try =straight.el= which allows direct use
+of the various package archives.

-[[https://github.com/emacscollective/borg][Borg]] is at the heart of package management of my Emacs setup. In
-short, it creates a git submodule in =lib/= for each package, which
-can then be managed with the help of Magit or other tools.
