Greetings

Isn't that what some Emacs "impersonations" are doing. You clone a git repo
as your $HOME/.emacs.d and there you are.
Look, for example at https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs#install

Yes, those are pre-configured settings.

Many already exist, but they are not organized, so most users don’t find
them at the start of their journey, and they don’t necessarily
coordinate to specialize for the task they do themselves.

We must formulate a theory regarding this and then adopt
a policy which uses the same terminology :)

Good point. A bit of organizing would help ;-)

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

Does each of the variant Emacs vesions, such as Spacemavcs and Doom,
customize a set of options ab initio, regardless of what sort of
of text you are editing?

If so, I have an idea for how Emacs could help a user try each of those
ccllections of customizations.
