It's an alternative way for loading packages, replacing many forms with one. Its use is optional; some people like it. Instead of writing this: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/Source/foo-mode") (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.foo\\'" . foo-mode)) (autoload #'foo-mode "foo-mode" nil t) (setq foo-extras t) you can write this: (use-package foo-mode :load-path "~/Source/foo-mode" :commands (foo-mode) :mode "\\.foo\\'" :custom (foo-extras t))
