I disagree, I think it’s better to use the e-brake to hold the car on the slope while you’re engaging first gear. And when you’re in gear you lower the e-brake.
Whether this is possible depends on your parking/e-brake configuration. Pretty much have to have a hand lever controlled brake (hand brake) to do it effectively.
The only manual vehicles I’ve ever owned have been light trucks, none of which had a hand operated brake. Trying to operate four pedals at once is just not practical.

That makes sense. I didn’t imagine a manual vehicle not having a hand brake.
What’s an e-brake?
It’s the fast way of saying emergency brake, aka hand brake.
It’s NOT an emergency brake though. It’s a parking brake
