Neovim's configurations are located under the following paths, depending on your OS:
|
|
|
|
| OS | PATH |
|
|
| :- | :--- |
|
|
| Linux, MacOS | `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim`, `~/.config/nvim` |
|
|

|
|
| Windows (powershell)| `$env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim\` |
|
|
|
|
#### Recommended Step
|
|
|
|
[Fork](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo) this repo
|
|
so that you have your own copy that you can modify, then install by cloning the
|
|
fork to your machine using one of the commands below, depending on your OS.
|
|
|
|
> **NOTE**
|
|
> Your fork's url will be something like this:
|
|
> `https://github.com/<your_github_username>/kickstart.nvim.git`
|
|
|
|
#### Clone kickstart.nvim
|
|
> **NOTE**
|
|
> If following the recommended step above (i.e., forking the repo), replace
|
|
> `nvim-lua` with `<your_github_username>` in the commands below
|
|
|
|
<details><summary> Linux and Mac </summary>
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
|
|
# on Linux and Mac
|
|
git clone git@github.com:mmroczka/kickstart.nvim.git "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/nvim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Post Installation
|
|
|
|
Start Neovim
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nvim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's it! Lazy will install all the plugins you have. Use `:Lazy` to view
|
|
current plugin status. Hit `q` to close the window.
|
|
|
|
Read through the `init.lua` file in your configuration folder for more
|
|
information about extending and exploring Neovim. That also includes
|
|
examples of adding popularly requested plugins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Getting Started
|
|
|
|
```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. |
