dotfiles VS dashboard-nvim

Alpha user here, too. Here's my config.

I use and recommend direnv to ensure that my shell has all the appropriate environment variables set for each given project. I also copied a direnv layout for poetry projects. To use this layout, I place an .envrc file at the root of my project, with layout poetry at the top of the .envrc.

I've had success. You're welcome to look at my configs; I recommend starting here.

Hi to everyone. I've literally just started using neovim, but from a couple of days I am struggling with dashboard-nvim customization. I know it is a dumb question (and I apologize in advance for this): I would like to change the first line in the next image, in order to display custom things.

I have used glepnir-dashboard in neovim. Is there any available Dashboard for vim?

There's also https://github.com/glepnir/dashboard-nvim

glepnir/dashboard-nvim: vim dashboard (github.com) - at a36b32 btw, too lazy to upgrade :P

dashboard-nvim

So I have been looking at goolord/alpha-nvim and glepnir/dashboard-nvim for the startup screen. However, I often do nvim . when working so the startup screen is the directory tree (I use kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua) The start-up screen in the directory tree looks like this.
