+# perga.nvim
+Basic filetype plugin for [perga](https://forgejo.ballcloud.cc/wball/perga) utilizing treesitter.
+
+## Installation
+The usual installation method should work. Below is an example configuration using [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim).
+```lua
+{
+    'https://forgejo.ballcloud.cc/wball/perga.nvim',
+    config = true
+}
+```
+You will likely have to manually call `:TSInstall perga` to get the tree-sitter grammar.
