My Personal Neovim Configuration!

Installation

Prerequisites

You must have installed:

• Neovim 10+
• A Nerd Font set in your terminal
  • Make sure it doesn't end with Mono to get them big juicy icons
  • e.g. 0xproto Nerd Font Mono
  • I recommend using CaskaydiaCove
• gcc and make (I recommend installing via scoop)
• git (no sh#t) (if you don't have this are you even a developer?)
• OPTIONAL
  • ripgrep for the search functionality of some plugins
  • LazyGit for integration with lazygit.nvim
  • Neovide (For cleaner animations)
    • If you do use Neovide, change the font settings in init.lua if you use a different nerd font to CaskaydiaCove Also:
• Get rid of your previous Neovim configuration

# Linux / Macos (unix)
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim
rm -rf ~/.local/state/nvim
rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim

# Flatpak (linux)
rm -rf ~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/config/nvim
rm -rf ~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/data/nvim
rm -rf ~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/.local/state/nvim

# Windows CMD
rd -r ~\AppData\Local\nvim
rd -r ~\AppData\Local\nvim-data

# Window PowerShell
rm -Force ~\AppData\Local\nvim
rm -Force ~\AppData\Local\nvim-data

Or:

• Back up your previous Neovim configuration

# Linux / Macos (unix)
mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim-bak
rm -rf ~/.local/state/nvim
rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim

# Flatpak (linux)
mv ~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/config/nvim ~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/config/nvim-bak
rm -rf ~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/data/nvim
rm -rf ~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/.local/state/nvim-data

# Windows CMD
ren ~\AppData\Local\nvim
rd -r ~\AppData\Local\nvim-data

# Window PowerShell
Rename-Item -Path '~\AppData\Local\nvim' -NewName '~\AppData\Local\nvim-bak'
rm -Force ~\AppData\Local\nvim-data

1. Clone the config for your platform.

Install on Mac/linux:

git clone https://github.com/Vortigern-the-Grey/nvim ~/.config/nvim && nvim

Install on Linux (Flatpak):

git clone https://github.com/Vortigern-the-Grey/nvim ~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/config/nvim && flatpak run io.neovim.nvim

Install on Windows (CMD):

git clone https://github.com/Vortigern-the-Grey/nvim %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\nvim && nvim

If that doesn't work:

git clone https://github.com/Vortigern-the-Grey/nvim C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\nvim && nvim

Install On Windows (PWSH):

git clone https://github.com/Vortigern-the-Grey/nvim $ENV:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\nvim && nvim

If that doesn't work:

git clone https://github.com/Vortigern-the-Grey/nvim C:\Users\$ENV:USERNAME\AppData\Local\nvim && nvim

Install on Docker (cuz why the hell not):

docker run -w /root -it --rm alpine:latest sh -uelic '
  apk add git nodejs neovim ripgrep build-base wget --update
  git clone https://github.com/Vortigern-the-Grey/nvim ~/.config/nvim
  nvim
  '

2. In Neovim, once lazy.nvim finishes installing plugins, run :MasonInstallAll
3. In the nvim config directory, delete the .git folder. Unless u want my config, and to have yours sync with mine.
