auto-session VS nvim-reload

The plugins are: https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim and https://github.com/rmagatti/auto-session

I use auto-session for session management and session-lens telescope extension for switching the sessions. When I switch to a different session, auto-session clears all buffers from my current session, including the modified ones, without warning. I'm wondering if there are any ways to prevent losing my changes. For instance, can I save the modified buffers in the session and load them on session restore, or configure auto-session to give me a warning before switching to a new session if there are unsaved changes? Alternatively, is there a way to use Telescope to display a list of recently modified buffers, so that I can review them before switching sessions and take appropriate action?

buffers: I open and close nvim instances all day long, using https://github.com/rmagatti/auto-session (or one of the many other session management plugins), it saves my buffers on a per git branch basis, so I lose nothing. nvim opens in less than a second, so this is no burden at all.

Yes, I use rmagatti/auto-session with some gnarly hacks to save a subset of window options, a per-session colorscheme, and some other wacky stuff so it stays 99.9% the same between sessions.

The correct one is : auto-session (I edited the mistake in the message above)

auto-session ?

I'm also using auto-session and nvim-tree which can both interact with the session.

Finally, to save sessions and move through them, check: auto-session

Yes, for this purpose, I'm using rmagatti/auto-session

Briefly experimented with https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload, but had some troubles configuring it

Read nvim-reload source code for reference.

I stumbled upon nvim-reload but telescope also wasn't found after :Restart

You can use this - https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload - to reload your configuration. Then it's possible to PackerSync without restart.

I haven't used reload.lua from plenary, so I don't have advice there. If you don't mind that it isn't maintained, I use this for reloading my config without restarting nvim and it has worked just fine: https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload

I use this plugin: https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload

I'm using a modded version of /u/_Famiu_ old nvim-reload which was unfortunately archived.

I'm trying to write a helper function that fully reloads nvim without the need of closing and reopening it, using as a base the now unmaintained nvim-reload with has some good info on the matter on it's source code

I think I tried https://github.com/famiu/nvim-reload before but it was so long ago, and didn't work well that I don't even remember

Thank you for the insight, this is pretty much what famiu/nvim-reload does.
