Do read https://nvchad.com/news/v2.5_release for migration etc

Whats new?

• Replacing packer.nvim with lazy.nvim, It has helped us removing our own functions that provided different syntax for managing plugins. LOC has decreased! To non-nvchad users, NvChad has the simplest codebase out of all neovim distros there, around 1.3k LOC and 60% of it is just plugin config tables! We dont rely on external themes for UI stuff like theming, statusline, bufferline, dashboard etc is done by our own lightweight UI plugins.

• Removed alpha-nvim and wrote my own lightweight dashboard module ( NvDash )

• Added 3 more statusline themes in our UI plugin.

• Ported 13 new themes to base46.

• Now using base46 only to generate compiled highlights, we can now auto-reload some parts of our UI

• Added a cheatsheet module ( NvCheatsheet ) that shows list of default + user mappings in a pretty format , It has 2 layouts : grid and simple, the grid layout is highly inspired by the CSS masonry layout. The cheatsheet is auto-generated.

• User configuration options will now have auto-completions.

• Updater has been refactored and has a new minimal UI & loader animation.

• Added some cmp styles : flat_light, flat_dark, atom, atom_colored
