Breaking changes in v2.0

• Take your own time in migrating to v2.0. This release is in a separate branch so technically you can still use old NvChad.

• To use v2.0, you have to delete all old Neovim dirs (backup custom dir) and then re-install NvChad again

Lazy.nvim

• This release uses lazy.nvim instead of packer.nvim for plugin management.
• The M.plugins variable in chadrc expects a string now instead of table.
• The string should be path of your file which returns a table, example : custom/plugins.lua

--  before 
M.plugins = require "custom.plugins"

--  now
M.plugins = "custom.plugins"

• Rename your custom plugins dir to something else, like configs etc. It shouldnt be "plugins" (as per our example) and update the path in your custom plugins table.

• Also old plugin syntax has some slight changes now (as per lazy.nvim's syntax)

-- before
["some plugin" ] = { options } 
 
-- now
{
  "some plugin",
   options
}

• Check lazy.nvim docs to know how it works & its syntax.

Override opts

• override_opts which was used to override default plugin configs is now opts

NvChad ui options

• These options can now be directly changed from chadrc file

-- before 
["NvChad/ui"] = {
     override_opts = {
         statusline = {
             separator_style  = "round" 
          }
     }
}

-- now 
M.ui = {
    statusline = {
         separator_style = "round"
     }
}

Removed Alpha-nvim

• Its replaced by our own dashboard module which has a simple config & is lightweight.
• Check the NvDash config in the default_config file
