Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to use emacsWithPackagesFromUsePackage to create the ~/.config/emacs/init.el file from my config.org file? There isn't much documentation showing how to do this with org files in particular (nor showing how to put the files in ~/.config/emacs

#+title: Emacs Configuration
* General Configuration
** Startup Performance
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; The default is 800 kilobytes. Measured in bytes.
(setq gc-cons-threshold (* 50 1000 1000))

(time-subtract after-init-time before-init-time)))

(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook #'efs/display-startup-time)
#+end_src
** Package System Setup
Emacs has a built in package manager but it doesn't make it easy to automatically install packages on a new system the first time you pull down your configuration. [[https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package][use-package]] is a really helpful package used in this configuration to make it a lot easier to automate the installation and configuration of everything else we use.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; Initialize package sources
(require 'package)
(setq package-archives '(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/")
("elpa" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
(package-initialize)
(unless package-archive-contents
(package-refresh-contents))
;; Initialize use-package on non-Linux platforms
(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
(package-install 'use-package))
(require 'use-package)
(setq use-package-always-ensure t)
#+end_src
** Automatic Package Updates
The auto-package-update package helps us keep our Emacs packages up to date! It will prompt you after a certain number of days either at startup or at a specific time of day to remind you to update your packages.
You can also use =M-x auto-package-update-now= to update right now!
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package auto-package-update
:custom
(auto-package-update-interval 7)
(auto-package-update-prompt-before-update t)
(auto-package-update-hide-results t)
:config
(auto-package-update-maybe)
(auto-package-update-at-time "09:00"))
#+end_src
** Directory Variables
Declares paths for various functions
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq mail_directory "~/.local/share")
#+end_src
Edit: Added additional context
When I add in defaultInitFile = true;, I get this error here
