Neovim Frontend & Backend Config

⚡ About

This is my personal Neovim setup, which is an extension of LazyVim, already equipped with a quite good and easy-to-configure configuration.

🌱 Contribute

You can contribute by making a pull request with any bugfix or feature that you want to add :D

If you don't have an idea, you can follow these steps:

• Fork the project (optional in case you have a permission error) Or clone it on your local machine

• Create a new branch with:

  $ git checkout -b <new branch>

• When you have all the changes you have:

  $ git add .

  $ git commit -m "a description"

  $ git push origin <new branch>

And do a pull request to the main branch

📦 Requirements

• Neovim >= 0.9.0

• Git >= 2.19.0 (for clone this project and dependencies inside neovim config)

Usage

When cloning the repository, in case the folder is named neovim-dotfiles, change the name to nvim so that Neovim recognizes it

📚 Install Neovim:

For Windows run one of the two commands within powershell, you can use choco or scoop

$ scoop install neovim

# Or

$ choco install neovim -y

And for Linux and MacOs : neovim/wiki/Installing-Neovim

or see this custom gist, on how to install Neovim on different Linux distributions:

• gist.github.com/mrLuisFer/install-neovim

Also you need install python neovim support.

$ sudo apt-get install python3-neovim python3-pip

$ pip install pynvim

🌙 Install Manager:

In this config use packer to handle and install plugins.

To install Packer.nvim you can run any of these commands

Linux, Unix

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\
 ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

If you use Arch Linux, there is also an AUR package.

Windows (Powershell)

git clone https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data\site\pack\packer\start\packer.nvim"

More information about packer:

• Documentation
• Tips and Tricks
• Requirements

📘 Setup Windows:

$ cd %APPDATA\Local\nvim

If you want to test another branch, change `main` to to the name of the branch you want to test

But the main branch is so to speak the stable version

```bash
$ git clone -b main https://github.com/mrLuisFer/nvim.git .

If you have an error like 'C' compiler not found:

Open a terminal as a Admin and run:

$ choco install zig

🐧 Setup Linux:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/.config/nvim

$ cd $HOME/.config/

$ git clone -b develop https://github.com/mrLuisFer/nvim.git .

🌈 Colorschemes

If you do not like the color that comes by default, you can execute the command inside neovim: :colorscheme + TAB and you will see a list of themes that you can select

📦 LSP Config

What's LSP?

In this configuration use lspconfig And Lsp-Installer for install lsp languages -> williamboman/nvim-lsp-installer

Or :LspInfo for see the languages you have setup

⚠ Warning

It may be that when you enter the cloned configuration in nvim for the first time, you will get multiple errors

But don't worry just press Enter or q and run this command :PackerInstall or PackerSync Several plugins will be downloaded, then restart neovim (exit and enter neovim again)

🤖 Setup GitHub Copilot

In this setting you have the option to enable GitHub Copilot for smart autocompletion.

First you must be able to use Copilot, once activated in your account, execute:

:Copilot setup

With this it will open a page in your browser where you will perform an authentication and with that it will be ready :)

If in case the autocomplete does not appear, execute:

:Copilot enable

• github/copilot.vim
