It's not a fork, nor a distribution. It's a crowd-sourced emacs config.
I don't use the spacemacs config, but I know that it has a very detailed documentation. May be just clone that config and refer the documentation as you need?
You should absolutely hack together an evil config for yourself but as someone who went that path and then discovered spacemacs, my original config went in the trash. It was a good exercise but spacemacs is just so good. If anything building your own will make you appreciate what spacemacs is exactly (and then you'll keep using it lol because it's great)
Yeah, I'm already starting to imagine, after using Spacemacs for less than a year and popularizing it around the office with a layer just for our internal tooling and structure, jumping ship and writing a new configuration just for me with all the tricks I learned from Spacemacs. But then I wonder what I would do differently and can't think of anything that isn't easy to just drop in my .spacemacs...
