Keep root dir the same as opening dir.

[ChrisTaylorDeveloper]

How can I prevent the root directory of nvim-tree changing all the time?
I assume my present working directory is changing also.
I just want the working dir and the root dir of nvim-tree to remain un-changed i.e. the directory I opened lunarvim at.

That can be done - nvim-tree root only changing when you explicitly change it via, say, <C-]>

In fact, that is the default behaviour.

Configuration setings like :help nvim-tree.sync_root_with_cwd are required to change this behaviour. Please post your config.

I believe that lunarvim does set some opinionated options.

Thank you. In fact I have no bespoke config related to nvim-tree, everything is the Lunarvim default. Perhaps my question should really be, how do I stop the cwd from changing, which is not really a nvim-tree problem.

I've taken a look at lunarvim and it is configured with sync_root_with_cwd, update_focused_file.update_root and other tree root modifiers.

You can reset / clear those options as per defaults: :help nvim-tree-setup
