# ralvescosta.nvim
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
A starting point for Neovim that is:
|
|
|
|
* Small
|
|
* Single-file
|
|
* Completely Documented
|
|
|
|
**NOT** a Neovim distribution, but instead a starting point for your configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Install Neovim
|
|
|
|
Kickstart.nvim targets *only* the latest
|
|
['stable'](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/stable) and latest
|
|
['nightly'](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/nightly) of Neovim.
|
|
If you are experiencing issues, please make sure you have the latest versions.
|
|
|
|
### Install External Dependencies
|
|
|
|
External Requirements:
|
|
- Basic utils: `git`, `make`, `unzip`, C Compiler (`gcc`)
|
|
- [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installation)
|
|
- Clipboard tool (xclip/xsel/win32yank or other depending on the platform)
|
|
- A [Nerd Font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/): optional, provides various icons
|
|
- if you have it set `vim.g.have_nerd_font` in `init.lua` to true
|
|
- Emoji fonts (Ubuntu only, and only if you want emoji!) `sudo apt install fonts-noto-color-emoji`
|
|
- Language Setup:
|
|
- If you want to write Typescript, you need `npm`
|
|
- If you want to write Golang, you will need `go`
|
|
- etc.
|
|
|
|
> **NOTE**
|
|
> See [Install Recipes](#Install-Recipes) for additional Windows and Linux specific notes
|
|
> and quick install snippets
|
|
|
|
### Install ralvescosta nvim
|
|
|
|
> **NOTE**
|
|
> [Backup](#FAQ) your previous configuration (if any exists)
|
|
|
|
Neovim's configurations are located under the following paths, depending on your OS:
|
|
|
|
| OS | PATH |
|
|
| :- | :--- |
|
|
| Linux | `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim`, `~/.config/nvim` |
|
|
|
|
#### Clone ralvescosta.nvim
|
|
> **NOTE**
|
|
> If following the recommended step above (i.e., forking the repo), replace
|
|
> `nvim-lua` with `<your_github_username>` in the commands below
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com:ralvescosta/nvim.git "${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
|
|
the current plugin status. Hit `q` to close the window.
|
|
|
|
#### Read The Friendly Documentation
|
|
|
|
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

|
### FAQ
|
|
|
|
* What should I do if I already have a pre-existing Neovim configuration?
|
|
* You should back it up and then delete all associated files.
|
|
* This includes your existing init.lua and the Neovim files in `~/.local`
|
|
which can be deleted with `rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/`
|
|
* 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://lazy.folke.io/usage#-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 use to `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
|
|
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)
