Hello everyone!

I present to you kickstart.emacs.

A starting point for Gnu Emacs with good defaults, vim keybindings and packages that most people may want to use without needing to watch hours of tutorial videos to get started.

One of the project goals is to become something like kickstart.nvim.
Or, to be a reference if someone doesn't know how to do something.

I would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks for reading!

Do you think you need this in emacs 29?

(require 'package)
(require 'use-package) ;; requires package.el and use-package so we can use it

(package-initialize)
(unless package-archive-contents
  (package-refresh-contents))

;; Initialize use-package on non-Linux platforms
(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
  (package-install 'use-package))

Thank you for pointing it out!

I removed it.

Thanks!!! I'm now getting back into emacs after a five year hiatus and this repository seems like a good reference.
