    'goolord/alpha-nvim',
    requires = { 'kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons' },
    config = function ()
        require'alpha'.setup(require'alpha.themes.startify'.opts)
    end

use {
    'goolord/alpha-nvim',
    config = function ()
        require'alpha'.setup(require'alpha.themes.dashboard'.opts)
    end
}

if you want sessions, see

this theme makes some assumptions about your default keybindings to customize the buttons, see :h alpha-example

alpha is really a general purpose neovim ui library with some conveniences for writing a greeter ui. it has a functional, data-oriented api design. themes are expressed entirely as data, which is what makes alpha "fully customizable". alpha is also the fastest greeter I've benchmarked (which is why I daily drive it myself!).
