+# Neovim 0.12 Configuration
+
+In neovim's 0.12 nightly release an official package manager was added. This means that we no longer need to rely on third party software to bootstrap our configuration.
+
+The syntax is similar in the way that we previously specified src and name in Lazy, but setup of the package has to be done separately. At least for now. I have never done it in that way since i started using neovim when Lazy was already the go to package manager so it's going to be interesting to see how it affects my configuration structure.
+
+```lua
+vim.pack.add({
+	'https://github.com/folke/todo-comments.nvim',
+})
+
+require('todo-comments').setup({
+	keywords = {
+		SECTION = {
+			icon = "󰚟 ",
+			color = "hint",
+		}
+	}
+})
+
+```
+[vim.pack.add()](https://neovim.io/doc/user/pack/#vim.pack.add())
+
+I wiped my current 0.11 configuration and started fresh with this new package manger. I try to keep it lean to reduce startup time, but i do work in a couple of different environments so language support is vital. [This is what i ended up with so far](https://git.zacke.dev/wholteza/dotfiles/src/commit/2b2ce07edc5e8eb5b9e4cffc234abe4cdc8512f6/.config/nvim/init.lua):
