adding MELPA package archive (alien.top)

emacs noob here.

I'm rewriting my init.el file from scratch using use-package macro. In my existing init file I use require to configure MELPA package archive.

(require 'package)

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("MELPA" . "http://melpa.org/packages/"))

(package-initialize)

Can I rewrite this using use-package macro?

I don't use use-package myself, but maybe you could write:

(use-package package
  :init
  (add-to-list 'package-archives '("MELPA" . "http://melpa.org/packages/")))

I'd expect it to understand that you are referring to package.el, where package-archives variable is defined.
