General Settings

The files autocmds.lua, keymaps.lua, lazy.lua and options.lua under lua/config will be automatically loaded at the appropriate time, so you don't need to require those files manually. LazyVim comes with a set of default config files that will be loaded before your own.

danger

Do not require autocmds, keymaps, lazy or options under lua/config/ or lazyvim.config manually. LazyVim will load those files automatically.
