@sethen

I'd be most grateful if you tested this fix #2758

cd /path/to/nvim-tree.lua
git pull
git checkout 2758-use-web-devicons-default

When you're finished testing:

git checkout master

@sethen

I'd be most grateful if you tested this fix #2758

cd /path/to/nvim-tree.lua
git pull
git checkout 2758-use-web-devicons-default

When you're finished testing:

git checkout master

Happy to test this but unsure I know how. I am using Lazy to install the web-devicons plugin. Any guidance would be helpful here.

Alternatively, you could direct lazy to use the branch instead of master. Check the lazy doc...

[Alexander Courtis]

Never mind branch testing @sethen , the PR has been merged.

I'd be most grateful if you updated to latest and tested that.
