Minimal NeoVim Config and Docker

This repository contains a fairly minimal NeoVim configuration with language server protocol (LSP) support, snippets, and autocompletions, plus a Dockerfile to run the configuration in a container.

Getting Started

To get started, clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/IfCodingWereNatural/minimal-nvim.git

Prerequisites

You'll need to have Docker installed on your local machine to build and run the container.

Building the Container

Use ./build.sh to create the Docker image or just run the following command:

~$ docker build -t minimal-nvim .

This script will build the container and tag it with the name minimal-nvim.

Running the Container

There is a helper script to start up the container.

~$ ./run.sh

This script will run the container and mount the nvim/ directory as a volume, so any changes you make to the files in /root/.config/nvim while in the container, will also change the local files.

NeoVim Configuration

The configuration includes the following plugins (and perhaps more, I dunno, I had chatgpt generate this readme):

• lazy.nvim plugin manager
• plenary.nvim for utility functions
• mason-lspconfig.nvim and mason.nvim for project management and LSP support
• nvim-lspconfig for LSP support
• nvim-cmp for autocompletion
• LuaSnip for snippets
• lspkind.nvim for icons in autocompletion
• telescope.nvim for fuzzy searching
• nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter for syntax highlighting and indentation
• project.nvim for project management
• alpha-nvim for a startup screen
• nvim-tree.lua for a file explorer
• bufferline.nvim for a bufferline
• which-key.nvim for key bindings
• tokyonight.nvim for a colorscheme
• vim-surround for working with surroundings
• Comment.nvim for commenting code
• nvim-autopairs for automatic pairing of brackets, quotes, etc.
