<p>Mike Zamansky, on the heals of his last video, has another offering in his <a href="https://cestlaz.github.io/stories/emacs/">Using Emacs Series</a>. This time it’s about the new <a href="https://cestlaz.github.io/post/using-emacs-79-project/">Project library</a> built into the latest Emacs. If you’re familiar with Bozhidar Batsov’s <a href="https://github.com/bbatsov/projectile">Projectile</a> package, you can think of Project as a pared down, built-in Projectile.</p>
|

<p>Zamansky is refactoring his Emacs configuration and trying to keep down the bloat. Since he doesn’t use the Project/Projectile functionalities very often it makes sense for him to see if he can replace Projectile with Project.</p>
|

<p>The video takes us through the Project workflow and concludes that, at least for Zamansky’s needs, it’s a decent replacement for Projectile. There’s no doubt that Projectile is more complete and polished at this point but Project will no doubt evolve to meet the needs of its users.</p>
|

<p>Projectile has long been a popular project and many people swear by it. I’ve never felt the need for what it offers so I have nothing to offer in the way of informed advice. By way of <i>uninformed</i> advice, I’d say try out Project and if it works for you, investigate Projectile.</p>

<p>The video is 11 minutes, 39 seconds so you can probably fit it into a coffee break. The good news is Zamasnsky is promising more videos in the near future.</p> |
