:h :mks\n\nthis theme makes some assumptions about your default keybindings\nto customize the buttons, see :h alpha-example\n\n#### File Icons\n\ntheta/startify theme support file icons, default is enabled and `mini` icon provider is used.\n\n- [nvim-web-devicons](https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons)\n- [mini-icons](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-icons.md)\n\nif you prefer `nvim-web-devicons` icon provider, use the following example with lazy.nvim:\n\n```lua\n  {\n    \"goolord/alpha-nvim\",\n    -- dependencies = { 'echasnovski/mini.icons' },\n    dependencies = { 'nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons' },\n    config = function()\n      local startify = require(\"alpha.themes.startify\")\n      -- available: devicons, mini, default is mini\n      -- if provider not loaded and enabled is true, it will try to use another provider\n      startify.file_icons.provider = \"devicons\"\n      require(\"alpha\").setup(\n        startify.config\n      )\n    end,\n  },\n```\n\n## Elevator pitch\nalpha is really a general purpose neovim ui library with some conveniences for writing a greeter ui.\nit has a functional, data-oriented api design. themes are expressed entirely as data, which is what makes\nalpha \"fully programmable\". alpha is also the fastest greeter I've benchmarked (which is why I daily drive it myself!).\n\n## Profiling Results\n![benchmark](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24906808/131830001-31523c86-fee2-4f90-b23d-4bd1e152a385.png)\n- using https://github.com/lewis6991/impatient.nvim\n- only config! doesn't measure drawing, some startup plugins won't measure drawing either\n\n## Special Thanks\n- https://github.com/glepnir/dashboard-nvim - inspiration, code reference\n-
