If you're using NvChad, a popular Neovim config framework, and you'd like your file explorer (NvimTree) to appear on the right side instead of the default left, here's how to do it.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open the following file in your config directory:

~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua

2. Add the following snippet to configure the position of NvimTree:

{
  "nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua",
  opts = {
    view = {
      side = "right"
    }
  }
}

3. Save the file and restart Neovim.

That’s it! NvimTree should now appear on the right-hand side of your screen.

Why Move NvimTree to the Right?

• Prevents code from shifting when toggling the tree — no layout disruption
• Allows you to enable/disable the tree without feeling distracted
• Better visual separation in widescreen monitors

If you ever want to move it back, just change "right" to "left" in the config.

Tip: Plugin syncing is automatically applied after a Neovim restart. No need to run additional commands.
