Neovim Configuration

License

Welcome to my personal Neovim configuration. There are already great configurations like LunarVim or LazyVim that allow a quick start into Neovim for developers. I decided to create my own configuration from scratch because I liked to learn more about ways to customize Neovim. Also, I felt the need to decide for myself which feature I need and which one I don't. So I see this as a way to question my own needs for an IDE.

I will also recommend neovimcraft.com by Eric Bower, where you can find a lot of interessting things and inspirations.

Quick Start

Install Neovim

If you have not yet installed Neovim, this is the first step. You can find more information about this at https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/INSTALL.md.

Clone the Repostory

You have to clone the repository to a specific location, because Neovim expects the configuration in the following directories:

To use the configuration, the repository only needs to be cloned into the configuration folder.

Clone on Linux

git clone https://github.com/mgrosser3/nvim.git ~/.config/nvim

Clone on Windows

git clone https://github.com/mgrosser3/nvim.git ~/AppData/Local/nvim

[!TIP] You can also set the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME to specify the storage location for your configuration ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim).

I personally prefer a config folder in my home direcotry on Windows (XDG_CONFIG_HOME = $env:USERPROFILE\.config). Because I don't like looking for things in the hidden Windows AppData folder. I would like to have a similar experiance as on Linux.

Setup on Windows

Since a few additional tools are needed from time to time, it makes sense to install a package manager like scoop. For example Treesitter requires a C++ compiler, which we can easily install using scoop install gcc.

PowerShell 7.x

There are two different versions of the PowerShell. For details more details see: [Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.x] (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/whats-new/differences-from-windows-powershell?view=powershell-7.3)

It is recommended to install it, because the mason plugin requires PowerShell 7.x (pwsh.exe).
