• Embark blog post by Karthik / karthink: https://karthinks.com/software/fifteen-ways-to-use-embark/

project.el is a built-in Emacs package, added somewhere around 26, which provides basic actions for managing code projects similar to Projectile.

Even though it is built in, you can install newer versions from GNU ELPA!
