A port, with lots of unused features removed, of my 'pure' Neovim config to one built off of LazyVim -- or, at least, this was the original repo description, but it's now nearly as messy as the last.
Refer to the LazyVim docs for setup
particularities. Otherwise, clone this config to ~/.config/nvim/, start
nvim, and :checkhealth. The plugin manager lazy.nvim should be
automatically bootstrapped on first start.
Note
Looking for the "bleeding edge" version? Breaking changes and major
updates are often tested on the dev branch first.
The following is required for use of the features in this config:
- Basic tools, e.g.,
git,curl,unzip, etc. - Neovim packages:
neovim,python-pynvim- Neovim version must be >= 0.10.0
- Use of 0.10.0 allows for LSP inlay hints, native snippets, native commenting, and more. The plugins providing these functions for versions >= 0.9 have been removed, and thus this config won't be fully functional without 0.10.0.
- Nerd Font as terminal font, version >= 3 (I use JetBrains Mono)
- Packages for use by plugins
- Optional packages
- lazygit (for embedded
lazygitwindow)
- lazygit (for embedded
After installing the requirements (above), prepare the configuration on your system.
If you have an existing Neovim configuration, it's wise to create a backup if you wish to change back at any point in the future.
mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak
mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim.bakOnce any existing Neovim configuration has been backed up, clone this
repository into ~/.config/nvim/. If an existing Neovim configuration exists,
but does not need to be preserved, remove ~/.local/share/nvim/ prior to
starting Neovim for the first time.
git clone https://github.com/sventec/nvim.git ~/.config/nvimOnce the dotfiles have been cloned, start nvim for the first time, and allow
all plugins to install. Once all plugins have installed, quit Neovim and reopen it.
If, after reopening Neovim, there are still missing tools or errors are being
generated, run :LazyHealth to load all plugins and open the check health
window. Troubleshoot the installation (e.g. look for missing binaries) using this.
This is a personal config that is often modified. There may be aspects that will not work on other systems without some tweaking, and breaking changes may be made without notice at any time. Please be careful if you wish to use this config yourself, as some modification will likely be required.
