## Introduction ## Introduction
This project is a fork of [dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim](https://github.com/dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim.git) *This is a fork of [dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim](https://github.com/dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim) that represents my personal configuration of Neovim.*
## Installation
### Installation (Windows Only) ### 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.

nvim nvim
``` ```
The `Lazy` plugin manager will start automatically on the first run and install the configured plugins. After the installation is complete you can press `q` to close the `Lazy` UI and **you are ready to go**! Next time you run nvim `Lazy` will no longer show up. That's it! Lazy will install all the plugins you have. Use `:Lazy` to view
current plugin status.
If you would prefer to hide this step and run the plugin sync from the command line, you can use:
```sh
nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa
```

* What should I do if I already have a pre-existing neovim configuration? * 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. * You should back it up, then delete all files associated with it.
* This includes your existing init.lua and the neovim files in `%userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim-data\` (CMD) or `$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\nvim-data\` (Powershell) which should be deleted afterwards. * This includes your existing init.lua and the neovim files in `~/.local` which can be deleted with `rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/` or their windows counterparts in `AppData\Local\nvim-data`
* You may also want to look at the [migration guide for lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim#-migration-guide) * 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:
```sh
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 could also run your configuration inline, for example in Windows Powershell:
```pwsh
$env:NVIM_APPNAME = 'nvim-kickstart'; nvim
```

* See [lazy.nvim uninstall](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim#-uninstalling) information * See [lazy.nvim uninstall](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim#-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 `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. *This is the fork of the original project that splits the configuration into smaller parts.*
The original repo that maintains the exact
same functionality in a single `init.lua` file is available here:
* [kickstart.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)
### Windows Installation
Installation requires gcc and make, for which you don't need to change the config,
the easiest way is to use choco:
1. install [chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)
either follow the instructions on the page or use winget,
run in cmd as **admin**:
```
winget install --accept-source-agreements chocolatey.chocolatey
```
2. install all requirements using choco, exit previous cmd and
open a new one so that choco path is set, run in cmd as **admin**:
```
choco install -y neovim git ripgrep wget fd unzip gzip mingw make
```
Then continue with the [Install Kickstart](#Install-this-Configuration) step.
