“The use-package macro allows you to isolate package configuration
in your .emacs file in a way that is both performance-oriented and,
well, tidy. I created it because I have over 80 packages that I use
in Emacs, and things were getting difficult to manage. Yet with this
utility my total load time is around 2 seconds, with no loss of
functionality!”
use-package is not a package manager! Although use-package does
have the useful capability to interface with package managers (see
below), its primary purpose is for the configuration and loading of
packages.
use-package is available from Melpa and Melpa-Stable.
To install:
M-x package-install RET use-package RET
