My NVIM configuration

Based on kickstart.nvim

Installation

NOTE Backup your previous configuration (if any exists)

Requirements:

• Make sure to review the readmes of the plugins if you are experiencing errors. In particular:
  • ripgrep is required for multiple telescope pickers.
• See Windows Installation if you have trouble with telescope-fzf-native

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

OS	PATH
Linux	$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim, ~/.config/nvim
MacOS	$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim, ~/.config/nvim
Windows (cmd)	%userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim\
Windows (powershell)	$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\nvim\

Clone this project:

# on Linux and Mac
git clone https://github.com/mhkarimi1383/nvim.git "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/nvim

# on Windows (cmd)
git clone https://github.com/mhkarimi1383/nvim.git %userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim\

# on Windows (powershell)
git clone https://github.com/mhkarimi1383/nvim.git $env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\nvim\

Post Installation

Start Neovim

nvim

The Lazy plugin manager will start automatically on the first run and install the configured plugins - as can be seen in the introduction video. After the installation is complete you can press q to close the Lazy UI and you are ready to go! Next time you run nvim Lazy will no longer show up.

If you would prefer to hide this step and run the plugin sync from the command line, you can use:

nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa

Recommended Setup

Font: ComicShannsMono Nerd Font Mono Terminal: kitty (with my custom setup at https://github.com/mhkarimi1383/kitty)

Configuration And Extension

add/modify any required plugin in lua/custom/plugins/

this directory is included in init.lua by default

You can also merge updates/changes from the repo back into your fork, to keep up-to-date with any changes for the default configuration.

Also inside init.lua you can see that nothing has been written directly and we have tried to make this configuration modular with the help of lua modules, etc. So, do not forget to follow this style :)
