  • chemacs2

    Emacs version switcher, improved

    • I honestly suggest sticking with Doom Emacs as your main work system to start, and have a toy config you slowly build up as you gain more experience. You could manage such a system with tools like Chemacs, https://github.com/plexus/chemacs2, or if using Emacs 29 you could use custom-user-directory, https://blog.phundrak.com/emacs-29-what-can-we-expect/#custom-user-directory.

  • with-emacs.sh

    Script to easily run Emacs with specified configurations

    • FWIW, I would generally recommend using with-emacs.sh rather than chemacs2, because it's much simpler to use: https://github.com/alphapapa/with-emacs.sh

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • emacs.dz

    Awesome emacs config files

    • I also want to add that there is a large list of personal Emacs configs out there that you can take inspiration from https://github.com/caisah/emacs.dz
