+### How to configure straight.el?
+
+[Add the straight.el bootstrap code](https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-started) to `~/.emacs.d/pre-init.el`:
+``` emacs-lisp
+;; Users of Emacs versions >= 27 will want to set
+;; package-enable-at-startup to nil
+(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
+
+;; Straight
+(defvar bootstrap-version)
+(let ((bootstrap-file
+       (expand-file-name
+        "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el"
+        (or (bound-and-true-p straight-base-dir)
+            user-emacs-directory)))
+      (bootstrap-version 7))
+  (unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
+    (with-current-buffer
+        (url-retrieve-synchronously
+         "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radian-software/straight.el/develop/install.el"
+         'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
+      (goto-char (point-max))
