Use chemacs to separate emacs profile #5

You can use chemacs package to complelely seperate runmacs config folder from yr default emacs.d folder. That way it wont show any packages installed for default config in the runmacs.

I actually use separate exwm profile with only exwm config using chemacs.

I've never used it before but I keep hearing about it, I'll try it!

You really should, it's absoloutly amazing. I used it to seperate Doom Emacs from the Emacs config we were building in the series.

I've done a little research on it and it looks useful! I'm considering using @alphapapa's https://github.com/alphapapa/emacs-sandbox.sh instead though since Chemacs requires that you set up your .emacs.d in a certain way for it to work correctly.

Yeah, Chemacs is very interesting, but emacs-sandbox.sh requires no configuration, so it's much simpler to use. The name may be slightly misleading, since it easily acts as an Emacs configuration switcher as well as providing temporary sandboxes.
