### gitsigns.nvim -

Shows git signs of a repo on the signcolumn to indicate diffs/changes etc (needs plenary.nvim)

<hr>

### nvim-bufferline.lua -

As a top bufferline like thing which lets me handle tabs like switching, closing tabs.

<hr>
 
### nvim-web-devicons -
Lua fork of vim devicons which lets me change icons of filetypes
<kbd> <img src = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siduck76/dotfiles/master/rice%20flex/image.png"></kbd><hr>
 
### nvim-treesitter 
Better syntax highlighting for programming languages ( my config just has html,css,js support for now ).

without / with Treesitter :

### nvim-base16 -

contains a collection of all base16 themes for vim , plugin written in lua (comparison of base16-vim and nvim-base16):

nvim-base16 doesnt even take time to load unlike base16-vim which was eating half of the loadup time! ( the below screenshot was taken and tested on my old pentium laptop , so results might differ)

(neovim loads pretty fast on ssds)

# Config structure

```
     nvim
      ├──init.lua
      └──lua
          └──anything.lua
```

- The init.lua is used instead of init.vim.
- The lua folder contains modules ( config files ) , in the example above anything.lua file in lua folder could be considered as a module.
- The anything.lua file is supposed to have any neovim config written in lua , its like splitting the overall config into small bits and make it more organized , like one module for highlights and colors , another one for statusline and so on!.
- To load or source that "anything" module (like making it load with init.lua ) ,add this is in init.lua : require "anything".
