This is my Neovim config.

Config.nvim targets only the latest 'stable' Neovim. If you are experiencing issues, please make sure you have the latest version.

External Requirements:

• Basic utils: git, make, unzip, C Compiler (gcc).
• ripgrep.
• Clipboard tool (xclip/xsel or other depending on platform).
• You might need some extra tool (e.g. npm) used by Mason to auto-install formatter/LSP tools.
• A Nerd Font: optional, provides various icons.
  • If you have it set vim.g.have_nerd_font in init.lua to true.
  • If you chose "Propo" font kind set vim.g.nerd_font_propo in init.lua to true.

Neovim's configurations are located under the following paths, depending on your OS:

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/powerman/config.nvim.git "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/nvim

Start Neovim

nvim

That's it! Lazy will install all the plugins you have. Use :Lazy to view the current plugin status. Hit q to close the window.

If you are on another machine, you can do :Lazy restore, to update all your plugins to the version from the lockfile.

The Only Video You Need to Get Started with Neovim

• What should I do if I already have a pre-existing Neovim configuration?

  • You should back it up and then delete all associated files.

  • This includes your existing init.lua and the Neovim files in ~/.local which can be deleted with rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/

• Can I keep my existing configuration in parallel?

  • Yes! You can use NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-NAME to maintain multiple configurations. For example, you can install the configuration in ~/.config/nvim-powerman and create an alias:

    alias nvim-powerman='NVIM_APPNAME="nvim-powerman" nvim'

    When you run Neovim using nvim-powerman alias it will use the alternative config directory and the matching local directory ~/.local/share/nvim-powerman. You can apply this approach to any Neovim distribution that you would like to try out.

Below you can find OS specific install instructions for Neovim and dependencies.

After installing all the dependencies continue with the Install Config step.
