Nixvim Config

My Neovim config using nixvim.

Using as Standalone

Run without Installing

To test this config on your system:

nix run 'github:quanchobi/nixvim'

Direct Installation

Add the input to your flake:

{
    inputs = {
        nixvim.url = "github:quanchobi/nixvim";
    };
}

Add to system or home packages.

{ inputs, system, ... }:
{
  # NixOS
  environment.systemPackages = [ inputs.nixvim.packages.${pkgs.system}.default ];
  # Home Manager
  home.packages = [ inputs.nixvim.packages.${pkgs.system}.default ];
}

Using as a Module

This assumes you are using a flake. If you are not, you should. They are quite nice. Modules for both NixOS and Home Manager are exposed.

NixOS Module

To your flake.nix, add this repo as an input, and import it as a module

{
    inputs = {
        nixvim.url = "github:quanchobi/nixvim";
        nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-25.05";
    };
    outputs = {
        self,
        nixpkgs,
        ... }@inputs:
        {
          nixosConfigurations = {
            host = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
              modules = [ inputs.nixvim.nixosModules.default ];
            };
        };
    };
}

Home Manager Module

To your flake.nix, add this repo as an input:

{
  config,
  lib,
  inputs,
  ...
}:

{
  imports = [ inputs.home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager ];

  options.system.gui.enable = lib.mkEnableOption "Enable GUI applications";

  config = {
    home-manager = {
      sharedModules = [
        inputs.nixvim.homeManagerModules.default
      ]
    };
  };
}
