plug.nvim - an extensible plugin manager wrap on top of vim-plug in pure lua
2 projects | /r/neovim | 10 Jun 2022

This is my plugin management framework that I refactored into its own dedicated plugin. The main reason for its existence is to remove a big chunk of my configurations out of my dotfiles (refactor(nvim): migrate plugins to plug.nvim) so it could focusing on configure the plugins instead of managing it.

I did the same with my dotfiles setup, but it's for my personal preferences.
Moreover, I think I have more options to skip particular part / packages while also try to be idempotent as much as it can.
