## ⚡️ Requirements
- **Neovim** >= 0.9.4
- for proper icons support:
- [mini.icons](https://github.com/nvim-mini/mini.icons) _(optional)_
- [nvim-web-devicons](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons) _(optional)_
- a [Nerd Font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/) **_(optional)_**
## 📦 Installation
Install the plugin with your package manager:
### [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim)
> [!important]
> A couple of plugins **require** `snacks.nvim` to be set-up early.
> Setup creates some autocmds and does not load any plugins.
> Check the [code](https://github.com/folke/snacks.nvim/blob/main/lua/snacks/init.lua) to see what it does.
> [!caution]
> You need to explicitly pass options for a plugin or set `enabled = true` to enable it.
> [!tip]
> It's a good idea to run `:checkhealth snacks` to see if everything is set up correctly.
```lua
{
"folke/snacks.nvim",

---@type snacks.Config
opts = {
-- your configuration comes here

</details>
Some plugins have examples in their documentation. You can include them in your
config like this:
```lua
{
dashboard = { example = "github" }
}
```
If you want to customize options for a plugin after they have been resolved, you
can use the `config` function:
```lua
{
gitbrowse = {
config = function(opts, defaults)
table.insert(opts.remote_patterns, { "my", "custom pattern" })
end
},
}
```
## 🚀 Usage

## 🌈 Highlight Groups
Snacks defines **a lot** of highlight groups and it's impossible to document them all.
Instead, you can use the picker to see all the highlight groups.
```lua
Snacks.picker.highlights({pattern = "hl_group:^Snacks"})
```
