Prelude is an enhanced Emacs 25.1+ distribution that should make your experience with Emacs both more pleasant and more powerful. Prelude is an Emacs distribution that aims to enhance the default Emacs experience. Prelude alters a lot of the default settings, bundles a plethora of additional packages and adds its own core library to the mix. The final product offers an easy to use Emacs configuration for Emacs newcomers and lots of additional power for Emacs power users. Prelude bundles a bunch of smaller packages and makes many more packages available via optional modules. Basic support for many programming languages will be auto-installed when needed (e.g. the first time you open a source file for some language). Prelude aims to enhance the classic Emacs experience without deviating a lot from it.
