Description
Hello, I am trying to use startify to get just the header, no recent files, no anything.
I have the config set up like this
```
g:startify_custom_header = [
\ ' header line 1',
\ ' header line 2',
\ ' header line 3',
\ ' header line 4',
]
```
However not only the header appears, when opening vim, but also the recent files.
Does anyone know a fix?
