UPDATE: The title should have been

**Does use-package have a _built-in_ method for including files
directly from the repository?**

I thought it did, but the documentation doesn't show anything like
that.

I may have confused with [straight](https://github.com/radian-
software/straight.el) or [el-get](https://github.com/dimitri/el-get)
and their `use-package` integrations.

Use-package can use straight to get the package and then apply the
other use-package goodness. Irc its..

(use-package :straight <url>
…..)

I've used something like this when I needed to also load vertico
extensions:

    (use-package vertico
      :straight (:files (:defaults "extensions/*"))))

There seem to be some downvote happy folks here.

`quelpa` was one of the things I had in mind, when I asked the
question.  The title should have been "**Does use-package have a
*built-in* method for including files directly from the repository?**,
but reddit's policy on not changing the title bit.

By default, use-package uses package.el, so it doesn't. See
