How should I handle lazyvim.json?

[tommyalatalo]

I've noticed that when I start lazyvim it now generates a lazyvim.json file with contents like this:

❯ cat lazyvim.json
{
  "extras": [

  ],
  "news": {
    "NEWS.md": "2123"
  },
  "version": 2
}

I've tried to find documentation for this file, but I can't seem to find any. Am I supposed to commit this file to git the same as lazy-lock.json, or just ignore it?

It's safe to ignore. If you are using any LazyExtras, you can add it to the lazy spec like this to make it permanent.

It contains the Extras that you have enabled via :LazyExtras UI, so if you want to go to another pc and have the exact same configuration you can just copy over the file and LazyVim will enable the same Extras you had in your configuration. I personally use LazyExtras to enable/disable the Extras I want, because it's more convenient than editing lazy.lua itself. Also, keep in mind, that when editing lazy.lua you might come across a case when some extras have to be imported before some others. LazyExtras takes care of that order for you.
