Setup

MacOS

Install latest version of Neovim (>10.4). Homebrew should have it.

brew install neovim

Create config folder and link files from the repo.

mkdir ~/.config/nvim 
ln -sfn /path/to/dotfiles/lazyvim/init.lua ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
ln -sfn /path/to/dotfiles/lazyvim/lua ~/.config/nvim/lua

Go through first time setup.

nvim

Ubuntu

GCC is required for recent Neovim variants. Get it as part of build-essential, a bundle of useful build tools.

sudo apt install build-essential

Get latest Neovim from Neovim Launchpad PPA becaues default repos do not have modern Neovim.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install neovim

Ensure the nvim runtimepath includes ~/.config.nvim. From in Neovim, execute:

:echo &runtimepath

Create config folder and link files from the repo.

mkdir ~/.config/nvim 
ln -sfn /path/to/dotfiles/lazyvim/init.lua ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
ln -sfn /path/to/dotfiles/lazyvim/lua ~/.config/nvim/lua

Go through first time setup.

Plugins

Plugins live in lua/plugins. Plugins can either be manually included in init.lua or managed by lazy nvim.
Each plugin gets its own lua file in there, and lazy or manual edits to init.lua can be used to configure what's enabled.

bufferline.lua | akinsho/bufferline.nvim

VS Code style top tab manager. Repo

Reminders:

Right click to close.

coding.lua | saghen/blink.cmp

Completion plugin for language servers. Repo

snacks.lua | folke/snacks.nvim

Snacks contains a collection of QoL plugins. I am mostly using it for ease around file system search & navigation in nvim. Repo

Reminders:

LEADER + e to open neo tree sidebar
LEADER + f + g to open file search via rg (ripgrep)
