Plugins

59 plugins, most of them AstroNvim's own

AstroNvim v6 ships the framework. Everything here is either core, a language pack from AstroCommunity, or one of the overrides in nvim/lua/plugins/. Run :Lazy to see load state and startup cost per plugin.

Managing plugins

• :Lazy shows status, :Lazy sync installs and updates against lazy-lock.json, Space p a updates Lazy and Mason together.
• :Mason shows installed tools. :MasonToolsUpdate installs anything missing from the ensure_installed lists.
• To disable a core plugin, add { "author/name", enabled = false } to nvim/lua/plugins/disabled.lua.
• Commit lazy-lock.json with any plugin change so every machine runs the same commits.
