### How to make minimal-emacs.d install packages in the early-init phase, instead of init?
To load packages in the early-init phase, add the following to `post-early-init.el`:
```elisp
(setq minimal-emacs-package-initialize-and-refresh nil)
;; Initialize packages in the early-init phase instead of init
(progn
(package-initialize)
(unless package-archive-contents
(package-refresh-contents))
(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
(package-install 'use-package))
(eval-when-compile
(require 'use-package)))
```
The drawback of using early-init phase instead of init.el is that if a package fails, you will not be able to see anything in the Emacs GUI. You will need to open the terminal to view Emacs's stdout.

A [user commented on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1feaf37/comment/lmw7ijd/) that after switching to `minimal-emacs.d`, their configuration execution time decreased from 3 seconds to just 1 second by simply replacing their `init.el` and `early-init.el` files with those from the project. Please [send me](https://www.jamescherti.com/contact/) your feedback and I'll add it to this README.md file.
