See the minimal directory for minimal dotfiles (< 100 lines) that can easily be copied to a remote host.

On Mac, install Homebrew:

$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Run brew bundle which will install the packages listed in Brewfile

Neovim is a modern vim replacement. See the .config/nvim directory for my neovim config. Plugins are handled by lazy.nvim which should be install and update itself automatically.

Bring up the Lazy UI using :Lazy or <Space>I.

If you want to start your own neovim config, I would recommend starting off with some minimal templates like and adding onto to it incrementally:

• nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim - lua-based, neovim-only config that uses lazy.nvim
• theopn/kickstart.vim - vimscript version of kickstart.nvim that uses Plug
• rstacruz/vim-from-scratch for regular Vim (repo is deprecated but still useful to see for how VimScript works)

There are also a lot of distros like LazyVim, LunarVim, NvChad that come with a much more IDE-like setup out of the box; these are useful for inspiration for plugins but I would not recommend starting off with these.
