  • Assimilate Emacs packages as Git submodules

Borg is a bare-bones package manager for Emacs packages. It provides only a few essential features and should be combined with other tools such as [[https://github.com/magit/magit][Magit]], [[https://github.com/emacscollective/epkg][epkg]], [[https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package][use-package]], and [[https://github.com/tarsius/auto-compile][auto-compile]].

Borg assimilates packages into the =/.config/emacs= repository as Git submodules. An assimilated package is called a drone and a borg-based =/.config/emacs= repository is called a collective.

/For more information see the [[https://emacsair.me/2016/05/17/assimilate-emacs-packages-as-git-submodules][announcement]] and the [[https://docs.emacsmirror.org/borg][manual]]./
