alpha-nvim

alpha is a fast and highly customizable greeter for neovim.

See Quick Start for screenshots of the dashboard-nvim and vim-startify themes

Quick Start

dashboard-nvim theme

use {
    'goolord/alpha-nvim',
    config = function ()
        require'alpha'.setup(require'alpha.themes.dashboard'.opts)
    end
}

if you want sessions, see

• https://github.com/folke/persistence.nvim#-installation
• :h :mks

this theme makes some assumptions about your default keybindings to customize the buttons, see :h alpha-example

vim-startify theme

use {
    'goolord/alpha-nvim',
    requires = { 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons' },
    config = function ()
        require'alpha'.setup(require'alpha.themes.startify'.opts)
    end
}

TODO

• maybe center however something like Goyo does it
• what is that annoying text that appears on the command-line when you start up? can't tell by looking at anyone else's code
