Local plugins inside nvim config

[raoulmillais]

Hi,

I have a custom setup that has grown over decades and I've been a very happy lazy.nvim customer since it was first released! Something that irks me is I notice logically related groups of options/automcommands/usercommands in my lua/config/ folder

I mostly follow the usual conventions: init.lua (only requires config.lazy) ,lua/config/ (autocommands/options/diagnostics/etc), lua/core (common utilities), lua/plugins (plugin specs and configuration). I feel like I could tidy things up further by extracting those logical groupings into plugins. I am not using LazyVim.

I do not want to publish these as separate repositories in github - I don't sadly have the bandwidth to maintain and support them other than for my own uses. I also don't want to manage multiple repositories - I'm happy with everything in my .config/nvim.

So my question is - is there an established pattern for having nvim config local plugins - what are recommended conventions for this? Where do I put them and how do I import them from my lua/plugins/ folder?

Many thanks in advance,

Raoul
