## Bloat
	
To everyone who thinks that NvChad is bloat: Bloat means different things to everyone.

NvChad has 38 plugins installed by default yet it is still very fast because it uses Packer plugin maanager. Packer.nvim allows you lets you lazy load plugins, meaning they get loaded only when absoloutely required. Furthermore, you can disable plugins you don't use in `chardr`.

# TODO

NvChad is focusing more on improving its already existing plugins and features instead of adding more plugins. Things you can do to help currently are:

- Improving base plugins configurations
- Debloating the config.
- Adding more themes.

## Try NvChad in a Docker container

This will leave your current Neovim configuration untouched. Once you exit Neovim, the image is deleted.

```zsh
  docker run -w /root -it --rm alpine:edge sh -uelic '
    apk add git nodejs neovim ripgrep alpine-sdk --update
    git clone https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad ~/.config/nvim
    nvim -c "autocmd User PackerComplete quitall" -c "PackerSync"
    nvim
    '
```
