• install tree-sitter/cli/README.md at master · tree-sitter/tree-sitter · GitHub
• install LLVM for clang

Type in <leader>fa and open the lua\plugins\user.lua file and then paste in this

Ensure that you quote the first line to activate the file.
This will ensure that only `LLVM` is used to install.

• Also, put this at in your init.lua file

  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", "--branch=stable", lazypath })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)
vim.cmd [[let &shell = '"C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe"']]
vim.cmd [[let &shellcmdflag = '-s']]
 
-- validate that lazy is available
if not pcall(require, "lazy") then
 

This will ensure that git bash is used as the terminal. Thanks to
