suggest to fork repo

[micviklui]

I liked the way https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim recommends to deal with the dot-files (fork and clone into the config-dir). I think it's easier and allows to pull in updates from the original repo.

Recommended Step
Fork this repo so that you have your own copy that you can modify, then install by cloning the fork to your machine using one of the commands below, depending on your OS.
...
git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/nvim

In 1.8.3 it's recommended to remove the .git dir and then there's 1.11 that recommends advanced ways to deal with the dot-files but the reader can't simply copy & paste.

Also the forking-method offers a ready-to-use solution for managing dot-files which may make section 1.11 "A Note on Managing Dot Files" a bit out of scope (for the sake of focusing on lazy.vim). On the other hand it requires a github account.
