 # A Neovim Plugin for [Joshuto](https://github.com/kamiyaa/joshuto)
 
+Disclaimer: I straight-up copied most of the code in this plugin from [lazygit.nvim](https://github.com/kdheepak/lazygit.nvim) because I just wanted something working asap. The only reason I didn't fork lazygit.nvim but made a new repository instead was because this is plugin for a completely different purpose (not for using Lazygit). I want to give credits to the author of lazygit.nvim for writing awesome code and thank him for using the MIT licence.
