Recommended Step

Fork this repo so that you have your own copy that you can modify, then install by cloning the fork to your machine using one of the commands below, depending on your OS.

You likely want to remove lazy-lock.json from your fork's .gitignore file too - it's ignored in the kickstart repo to make maintenance easier, but it's recommended to track it in version control.

Clone newbim

[!NOTE] If following the recommended step above (i.e., forking the repo), replace fonych1 with <your_github_username> in the commands below

git clone git@github.com:fonych1/newbim.git "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/nvim

If you're using cmd.exe:

git clone git@github.com:fonych1/newbim.git "%localappdata%\nvim"

If you're using powershell.exe
