We all read (???) the Steve Yegge post where he says he as “hundreds” of info manuals installed in his computer.
The thing is, after quite a bit of web searching, I only managed to get git, gitman, Python, Common Lisp, and SICP.
Is there any repository/FTP/storage that has a treasure trove of info manuals ready to add to Emacs?
Thank you!
While I can’t help you with info manuals for Emacs, I can certainly recommend some email marketing tools. Ever tried Inbox Mailers? They can triple your open and click rates. Trust me, it’s email marketing on steroids.

Then why did you respond?
Look at the account’s history. It’s some kind of GPT bot.
I scrolled a little bit but just assumed they were a well-meaning human obsessed with email marketing or whatever. How did you determine it’s a bot?
You don’t have the Emacs manuals installed?!
Emacs 29 comes with many manuals for Emacs features. There is the main manual, the Elisp manual, the Elisp intro, the FAQ and another 60 manuals.
There aren’t many info manuals for non-GNU apps. However, nearly every GNU package has an info manual. For GCC there is a manual for each language and so more. There are also manuals for grep, find, awk and many others.
Most Linux distros will have these on your system already. Some of them don’t such as Debian and Ubuntu. For those you have to do some setup to get them, but they can be accessed. Like Yegge, I have hundreds of them.
