An alternative is to use --init-directory with thin wrapper around your normal config, e.g., you can create arbitrary configuration which makes small tweaks to your normal configuration with something like the following: $ cat /tmp/e1/early-init.el (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/org") (setq user-emacs-directory "~/.emacs.d/") (load-library (expand-file-name "early-init.el" user-emacs-directory)) $ cat /tmp/e1/init.el (load-library (expand-file-name "init.el" user-emacs-directory)) $ emacs --init-directory /tmp/e1
