nvim

Setup

Prerequisites: have the latest nvim 0.11.0 installed get it here, and be on a linux system or a windows linux subsystem or mac linux subsystem, and have a "Nerd Font" downloaded to your machine so that your command shell can process icons. I use AtkynsonMono Nerd Font you can find and download it here

1. Open whatever command shell you prefer
2. bash
3. cd ~
4. cd .config (if there is no .config directory, mkdir .config and then cd .config)
5. If there is a nvim folder there already, rm -r nvim
6. git clone https://github.com/lloeffel/nvim
7. cd nvim
8. nvim .
9. :Lazy sync

When opening a file with nvim, tree sitter may have to update and just let it do its thing, then exit the file and open it again for everything to work

If you are transferring from one setup to another, and there are conflicts, you may have to delete files/directories in your ~/.local/share/ folder which correspond to corrupted plugins
