New to emacs; will you hold my hand?

• crafted-emacs

  31 700 9.0 Emacs Lisp

  A sensible base Emacs configuration.

  

Just to be sure, Crafted Emacs is this https://github.com/SystemCrafters/crafted-emacs? Even now that I have 5 days worth of friction (which I understand is nothing) with the subject I have to say that it is very intimidating to me because of the language used (I have just too many unknowns/uncertainties in every sentence I read) but also because of the mention of several other packages or concepts (e.g. the entire Principles section). This is not to say that something is wrong with Crafted Emacs, just that I am not ready for it. It seems to me that it is meant to be an alternative to spacemacs/doom etc by providing a different/modular way to customization. I will come around to it a bit later.

• dotfiles

  8 780 0.0 Emacs Lisp

  The path to GNUrvana (by daviwil)

I was watching some videos and saw this https://github.com/daviwil/dotfiles/blob/master/Emacs.org, which is HUUUGE. Is there some other resource that I can just start with one piece/package at a time and keep adding more slowly?

• github-orgmode-tests

  245 147 4.8

  This is a test project where you can explore how github interprets Org-mode files

any pointers on getting started with org-mode? I am going through orgmode.org rn and got somewhat familiar with the syntax. I am trying to evaluate it and I don't see the value yet. do i need any plugins for it?

• emacs-which-key

  37 1,690 7.8 Emacs Lisp

  Emacs package that displays available keybindings in popup

IMHO, there is one must-have package for every beginner (and not so beginner), which-key.

• doomemacs

  An Emacs framework for the stubborn martian hacker
