Lazy Loading

Lazy loading is not recommended.

nvim-tree setup is very inexpensive, doing little more than validating and setting configuration. There's no performance benefit for lazy loading.

Lazy loading can be problematic due to the somewhat nondeterministic startup order of plugins, session managers, netrw, "VimEnter" event etc.

Older neovim Versions

If you cannot use the required version of nvim-tree you may use an older version via tag:

Please note that these compatibility versions are not maintained or updated.
