  if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
    vim.fn.system({
      "git",
      "clone",
      "--filter=blob:none",
      "--single-branch",
      "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git",
      lazypath,
    })
    vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

📦 Differences with Packer

• Plugin Spec:

  • setup => init
  • requires => dependencies
  • as => name
  • opt => lazy
  • run => build
  • lock => pin
  • module is auto-loaded. No need to specify
