[AlexanderHott]

Describe the bug
When opening a file through <leader>e, the error message

Error detected while processing BufReadPost Autocommands for "*":
W18: Invalid character in group name

shows up.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Fresh install neovim, packer sync, exit
2. open nvim without any arguments
3. <leader>e
4. select a file
5. there should be ~20 errors in the command box

Expected behavior
there should not be any errors

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Operating System:
  Ubuntu
• Terminal:
  Konsole + Zsh
• Version of Neovim:
  NVIM v0.7.2
  Build type: Release
  LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

Additional context
This only happens for the first file or telescope fuzzy finder that gets opened. Every file after that works. I think this has to do with an autocommand that is being lazy loaded.

update to neovim 0.8

The installation instruction in https://nvchad.com/quickstart/install still says:
Neovim 0.7.2, if your distro/OS doesn't have it then try neovim version manager.

Who can update this?
