If you are experiencing issues, please make sure you have the latest versions. - -Distribution Alternatives: -- [LazyVim](https://www.lazyvim.org/): A delightful distribution maintained by @folke (the author of lazy.nvim, the package manager used here) - -### Installation - -> **NOTE** -> [Backup](#FAQ) your previous configuration (if any exists) - -Requirements: -* Make sure to review the readmes of the plugins if you are experiencing errors. In particular: - * [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installation) is required for multiple [telescope](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim#suggested-dependencies) pickers. -* See [Windows Installation](#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)| `$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\nvim\` | - -Clone kickstart.nvim: - -- on Linux and Mac -```sh -git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/nvim -``` - -- on Windows (cmd) -``` -git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git %userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim\ -``` - -- on Windows (powershell) -``` -git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git $env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\nvim\ -``` - - -### Post Installation - -Start Neovim - -```sh -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: - -```sh -nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa -``` - -### Getting Started - -See [Effective Neovim: Instant IDE](https://youtu.be/stqUbv-5u2s), covering the previous version. Note: The install via init.lua is outdated, please follow the install instructions in this file instead. An updated video is coming soon. - -### Recommended Steps - -[Fork](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo) this repo (so that you have your own copy that you can modify) and then installing you can install to your machine using the methods above. - -> **NOTE** -> Your fork's url will be something like this: `https://github.com//kickstart.nvim.git` - -### Configuration And Extension - -* Inside of your copy, feel free to modify any file you like! It's your copy! -* Feel free to change any of the default options in `init.lua` to better suit your needs. -* For adding plugins, there are 3 primary options: - * Add new configuration in `lua/custom/plugins/*` files, which will be auto sourced using `lazy.nvim` (uncomment the line importing the `custom/plugins` directory in the `init.lua` file to enable this) - * Modify `init.lua` with additional plugins. - * Include the `lua/kickstart/plugins/*` files in your configuration. - -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. - -#### Example: Adding an autopairs plugin - -In the file: `lua/custom/plugins/autopairs.lua`, add: - -```lua --- File: lua/custom/plugins/autopairs.lua - -return { - "windwp/nvim-autopairs", - -- Optional dependency - dependencies = { 'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp' }, - config = function() - require("nvim-autopairs").setup {} - -- If you want to automatically add `(` after selecting a function or method - local cmp_autopairs = require('nvim-autopairs.completion.cmp') - local cmp = require('cmp') - cmp.event:on( - 'confirm_done', - cmp_autopairs.on_confirm_done() - ) - end, -} -``` - - -This will automatically install [windwp/nvim-autopairs](https://github.com/windwp/nvim-autopairs) and enable it on startup. For more information, see documentation for [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim). - -#### Example: Adding a file tree plugin - -In the file: `lua/custom/plugins/filetree.lua`, add: - -```lua --- Unless you are still migrating, remove the deprecated commands from v1.x -vim.cmd([[ let g:neo_tree_remove_legacy_commands = 1 ]]) - -return { - "nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim", - version = "*", - dependencies = { - "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim", - "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", -- not strictly required, but recommended - "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim", - }, - config = function () - require('neo-tree').setup {} - end, -} -``` - -This will install the tree plugin and add the command `:Neotree` for you. You can explore the documentation at [neo-tree.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim) for more information. - -### Contribution - -Pull-requests are welcome. The goal of this repo is not to create a Neovim configuration framework, but to offer a starting template that shows, by example, available features in Neovim. Some things that will not be included: - -* Custom language server configuration (null-ls templates) -* Theming beyond a default colorscheme necessary for LSP highlight groups - -Each PR, especially those which increase the line count, should have a description as to why the PR is necessary. - -### FAQ - -* What should I do if I already have a pre-existing neovim configuration? - * You should back it up, then delete all files associated with it. - * This includes your existing init.lua and the neovim files in `~/.local` which can be deleted with `rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/` - * You may also want to look at the [migration guide for lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim#-migration-guide) -* Can I keep my existing configuration in parallel to kickstart? - * Yes! You can use [NVIM_APPNAME](https://neovim.io/doc/user/starting.html#%24NVIM_APPNAME)`=nvim-NAME` to maintain multiple configurations. For example you can install the kickstart configuration in `~/.config/nvim-kickstart` and create an alias: - ``` - alias nvim-kickstart='NVIM_APPNAME="nvim-kickstart" nvim' - ``` - When you run Neovim using `nvim-kickstart` alias it will use the alternative config directory and the matching local directory `~/.local/share/nvim-kickstart`. You can apply this approach to any Neovim distribution that you would like to try out. -* What if I want to "uninstall" this configuration: - * See [lazy.nvim uninstall](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim#-uninstalling) information -* Why is the kickstart `init.lua` a single file? Wouldn't it make sense to split it into multiple files? - * The main purpose of kickstart is to serve as a teaching tool and a reference - configuration that someone can easily `git clone` as a basis for their own. - As you progress in learning Neovim and Lua, you might consider splitting `init.lua` - into smaller parts. A fork of kickstart that does this while maintaining the exact - same functionality is available here: - * [kickstart-modular.nvim](https://github.com/dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim) - * Discussions on this topic can be found here: - * [Restructure the configuration](https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/issues/218) - * [Reorganize init.lua into a multi-file setup](https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/pull/473) - -### Windows Installation - -Installation may require installing build tools, and updating the run command for `telescope-fzf-native` - -See `telescope-fzf-native` documentation for [more details](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim#installation) - -This requires: - -- Install CMake, and the Microsoft C++ Build Tools on Windows - -```lua -{'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', build = 'cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build --config Release && cmake --install build --prefix build' } -``` - -### Hints And Tips For New Neovimmers - -Neovim is a very rich and powerful environment, but it can also feel a bit -intimidating for new users trying to find their way around, especially if -they're coming from other environments like Visual Studio Code or a traditional -IDE. - -There's no way this README can provide you with everything you need to know, but -here are a few tips so you can learn how to learn. - -### Use The Help, Luke! - -Neovim's help system is incredibly thorough and extensive. You should really -take a moment to get comfortable navigating through help topics, going back and -forth, navigating the menus, etc. This won't just help you read the help, it -will empower you in the rest of your Neovim journey. - -You can double click on a topic to drill down, and hit Ctrl-o (Hold down the -Control key and the 'o' key) to go back. - -Read the first page you get when you run :help carefully. it will serve you -well. - -You can also get help on a particular thing by typing ":help ". - -Like, let's say we want to learn more about folding, just type ":help folding". - -### To The Telescope! - -One of the more powerful features you get by installing this project is the -brilliant Telescope plugin co-written by @tjdevries. - -Take a minute to browse through ":help telescope" and get a sense for all the -amazing superpowers you've gained. - -In particular, there are two Telescope features that are incredible for helping -you understand how to do a particular thing or how to configure a particular -feature. - -If you're not sure what to look for, try ":Telescope help_tags". Let's say we -want to configure Neovim to automatically word wrap. We might type ":Telescope -help_tags" and then type w, r, a, p. Notice how the list of results changes with -each new letter you type? When you're done you've got a screen full of topics -involving word wrap. - -Another common question is "What keys do I hit to make a thing happen?". To get -an answer, one way is to use ":Telescope keymaps". You'll get the same list of -results that changes to adapt with each new key you press. - -With these hints in mind you should be in good shape to get learning. Remember, -you are on a journey of discovery here, adapting your programming environment to -your needs. It will take effort, but the rewards are worth it! :) +I am not expecting someone else to fool around here. Not that I care, but I just mean that it's not designed for anyone else but me.
