The Borg assimilate Emacs packages as Git submodules.
Borg is a bare-bones package manager for Emacs packages. It provides
only a few essential features and should be combined with other tools
such as Magit, epkg, use-package, and auto-compile.
Borg assimilates packages into the ~/.config/emacs 1 repository
as Git submodules. An assimilated package is called a drone and a
borg-based ~/.config/emacs repository is called a collective.
It is possible to clone a package repository without assimilating it. A cloned package is called a clone.
To learn more about this project, also read the blog post 2 in which it was announced.
Or ~/.emacs.d of course, if you prefer that or have to use the
old location because you still have to support older Emacs releases.
