Long time emacs user here with a .emacs which is highly customized and is updated by me frequently. I recently added (not sure what took me so long) code to automatically install packages which are missing (for instance, if I'm starting emacs on a new system). Love all lisps, including elisp.

If you use use-package, you can add ":ensure t" to the configs to accomplish this same thing. If you're not using use-package, you should be :) . Example use: (use-package unfill :ensure t :defer t :commands (unfill-region unfill-paragraph unfill-toggle) :bind ("M-q" . unfill-toggle))

  I'd recommend counting how many of your use-package forms have :ensure t and how many don't. If more have it than not, instead (setq use-package-always-ensure t).

    Hey thanks, I didn't know about use-package-always-ensure.
