Note: straight.el is a replacement for package.el, not use-package. use-package can be used with either package.el or straight.el.

Note: straight.el supports a minimum version of Emacs 25.1, and works on macOS, Windows, and most flavors of Linux. You must install Git in order to use straight.el.

Here are some variables you may be interested in (some of them must be set before the bootstrap code runs, if they might affect how straight.el itself is loaded):

You should remove any code that relates to package.el; for example, references to package-initialize, package-archives, and (if you're using use-package) :ensure or use-package-always-ensure.

While it is technically possible to use both package.el and straight.el at the same time, there is no real reason to, and it might result in oddities like packages getting loaded more than once.

Sometimes, in a corporate environment, url-retrieve-synchronously may not work and straight.el will be unable to download the installation script mentioned in the bootstrap snippet. In this case, you may simply clone this repository into ~/.emacs.d/straight/repos/straight.el and check out your desired revision/branch. The installation script is just a more convenient way of doing that automatically when necessary (and looking up the correct revision of straight.el in your lockfile, if any).
