The standard Emacs package manager is documented in the Emacs manual
(see Package Installation in GNU Emacs Manual). The
use-package macro provides the :ensure and :pin
keywords that interface with that package manager to automatically
install packages. The :vc keyword may be used to control how
package sources are downloaded; e.g., from remote hosts
(see Fetching Package Sources in GNU Emacs Manual). This
is particularly useful if you use your init file on more than one
system.
