### Introduction
|
|
|
|
A starting point for Neovim that is:
|
|
|
|
* Small (~370 lines)
|
|
* Single-file
|
|
* Documented
|
|
* Modular
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
This repo is meant to be used as a starting point for a user's own configuration; remove the things you don't use and add what you miss. Please refrain from leaving comments about enabling / disabling particular languages out of the box.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
* Backup your previous configuration
|
|
* Copy and paste the kickstart.nvim `init.lua` into `$HOME/.config/nvim/init.lua`
|
|
* Start Neovim (`nvim`) and run `:PackerInstall` - ignore any error message about missing plugins, `:PackerInstall` will fix that shortly
|
|
* Restart Neovim
|
|
|
|
|
|
If there are languages that you don't want to use, remove their configuration and notes from your `init.lua` after copy and pasting (for example, in the mason configuration).
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
You could directly modify the `init.lua` file with your personal customizations. This option is the most straightforward, but if you update your config from this repo, you may need to reapply your changes.
|
|
|
|
An alternative approach is to create a separate `custom.plugins` module to register your own plugins. In addition, you can handle further customizations in the `/after/plugin/` directory (see `:help load-plugins`). See the following examples for more information. Leveraging this technique should make upgrading to a newer version of this repo easier.
|
|
|
|
#### Example `plugins.lua`
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of a `plugins.lua` module (located at `$HOME/.config/nvim/lua/custom/plugins.lua`) where you can register your own plugins.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
return function(use)
|
|
use({
|
|
"folke/which-key.nvim",
|
|
config = function()
|
|
require("which-key").setup({})
|
|
end
|
|
})
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Example `defaults.lua`
|
|
|
|
For further customizations, you can add a file in the `/after/plugin/` folder (see `:help load-plugins`) to include your own options, keymaps, autogroups, and more. The following is an example `defaults.lua` file (located at `$HOME/.config/nvim/after/plugin/defaults.lua`).
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
vim.opt.relativenumber = true
|
|
|
|
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>sr', require('telescope.builtin').resume, { desc = '[S]earch [R]esume' })
|
|
```
|

### 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
|
|
* Lazy-loading. Kickstart.nvim should start within 40 ms on modern hardware. Please profile and contribute to upstream plugins to optimize startup time instead.
|
|
|
|
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/`
