 Kickstart Guide:
 
-  TODO: The very first thing you should do is to run the command `:Tutor` in Neovim.
+  READ `:help`.

-      - Tutor
-      - <enter key>

-  Once you've completed that, you can continue working through **AND READING** the rest
-  of the kickstart init.lua.

-  Next, run AND READ `:help`.
     This will open up a help window with some basic information
     about reading, navigating and searching the builtin help documentation.

   I have left several `:help X` comments throughout the init.lua
     These are hints about where to find more information about the relevant settings,
     plugins or Neovim features used in Kickstart.

-   NOTE: Look for lines like this

-    Feel free to delete them once you know what you're doing, but they should serve as a guide
-    for when you are first encountering a few different constructs in your Neovim config.

-If you experience any errors while trying to install kickstart, run `:checkhealth` for more info.

-I hope you enjoy your Neovim journey,
