Bloat

To everyone who thinks that NvChad is bloat: Bloat means different things to everyone.

NvChad has 38 plugins installed by default, yet it is still very fast because it uses the Packer plugin manager. Packer.nvim allows you to lazy load plugins, meaning they only get loaded when absolutely required. Furthermore, you can disable plugins you don't use in chadrc.lua.

TODO

NvChad is focusing more on improving its already existing plugins and features instead of adding more plugins. Things you can do to help currently are:

Improving base plugins configurations
Debloating the config.
Adding more themes.

Try NvChad in a Docker container

This will leave your current Neovim configuration untouched. Once you exit Neovim, the image is deleted.

  docker run -w /root -it --rm alpine:edge sh -uelic '
    apk add git nodejs neovim ripgrep alpine-sdk --update
    git clone https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad ~/.config/nvim
    nvim -c "autocmd User PackerComplete quitall" -c "PackerSync"
    nvim
    '

💝 Support

I'm (@siduck) really very sorry to remove the previous charity links but I had to do it for various reasons. A lot has been going here regarding financial issues and I do need some support if it's possible from your end. I haven't graduated yet and it would be great to earn some stuff as that'd help me with daily minor expenses. If you like NvChad and would like to support it via donation then I'll gladly accept it. Dont worry! NvChad will still stay alive & active without your donations! I will remove the sponsor button and re-add the charity links once I get a job, probably a year or two.
