MinEmacs – complete and fast Emacs configuration framework

MinEmacs is a complete and fast Emacs configuration framework designed for daily use.

It provides a batteries-included setup while keeping startup lean through deferred loading, and it organizes functionality into modules so users can tailor the environment to their workflow.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

• Focuses on fast startup by deferring package loading until needed or until after Emacs starts.
• Groups packages into modules with supporting glue code so components work together cleanly.
• Supports on-demand modules that load language-specific tools and packages when relevant files or modes are opened.
• Lets users customize the setup through dedicated configuration files such as modules.el and config.el in a separate user configuration directory.
• Supports machine-specific local configuration files and environment variables for more advanced customization.
