FEATURES *lazy.nvim-features* - Manage all your Neovim plugins with a sleek and intuitive UI - Fast startup times thanks to automatic caching and bytecode compilation of lua modules. - Partial clones instead of shallow clones - Automatic lazy-loading of lua modules and lazy-loading on events, commands, filetypes, and key mappings. - Automatically install missing plugins before starting up Neovim, allowing you to start using it right away. - Async execution for improved performance - No need to manually compile plugins - Correct sequencing of dependencies - Configurable in multiple files - Generates helptags of the headings in `README.md` files for plugins that don’t have vimdocs - Dev options and patterns for using local plugins - Profiling tools to optimize performance - Lockfile `lazy-lock.json` to keep track of installed plugins - Automatically check for updates - Commit, branch, tag, version, and full Semver support - Statusline component to see the number of pending updates TABLE OF CONTENTS *lazy.nvim-table-of-contents* - |lazy.nvim-requirements| - |lazy.nvim-installation| - |lazy.nvim-plugin-spec| - |lazy.nvim-configuration| - |lazy.nvim-usage| - |lazy.nvim-profiler| - |lazy.nvim-🪲-debug| - |lazy.nvim-differences-with-packer| - |lazy.nvim-other-neovim-plugin-managers-in-lua| REQUIREMENTS *lazy.nvim-requirements* - Neovim >= **0.8.0** INSTALLATION *lazy.nvim-installation* You can use the following Lua code to bootstrap **lazy.nvim** >lua local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") ..
