```
augroup packer_user_config
autocmd!
autocmd BufWritePost plugins.lua source <afile> | PackerCompile
autocmd BufWritePost plugins.lua source | PackerCompile
augroup end
```

This autocommand can be placed in your `init.vim`, or any other startup file as per your setup.
Placing this in `plugins.lua` could look like this:

```lua
vim.cmd([[
augroup packer_user_config
autocmd!
autocmd BufWritePost plugins.lua source <afile> | PackerCompile
augroup end
]])
vim.api.nvim_create_augroup('packer_user_config', {})

{
group = 'packer_user_config',
pattern = 'plugins.lua',
command = 'source | PackerCompile'
}
)
