|
### Introduction
|
|
|
|
*This is a fork of [nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim) that moves from a single file to a multi file configuration.*
|
|
|
|
A starting point for Neovim that is:
|
|
|
|
* Small
|
|
* Documented
|
|
* Modular
|
|
|
|
This repo is meant to be used by **YOU** to begin your Neovim journey; remove the things you don't use and add what you miss.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Distribution Alternatives:
|
|
- [LazyVim](https://www.lazyvim.org/): A delightful distribution maintained by @folke (the author of lazy.nvim, the package manager used here)
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
> **NOTE**
|
|
> [Backup](#FAQ) your previous configuration (if any exists)
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
* Make sure to review the readmes of the plugins if you are experiencing errors. In particular:
|
|
* [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installation) is required for multiple [telescope](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim#suggested-dependencies) pickers.
|
|
* See [Windows Installation](#Windows-Installation) if you have trouble with `telescope-fzf-native`
|
|
|
|
Neovim's configurations are located under the following paths, depending on your OS:
|
|
|
|
| OS | PATH |
|
|
| :- | :--- |
|
|
| Linux | `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim`, `~/.config/nvim` |
|
|
| MacOS | `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim`, `~/.config/nvim` |
|
|
| Windows (cmd)| `%userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim\` |
|
|
| Windows (powershell)| `$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\nvim\` |
|
|
|
|
Clone kickstart.nvim:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# on Linux and Mac
|
|
git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/nvim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# on Windows (cmd)
|
|
git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git %userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim\
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# on Windows (powershell)
|
|
git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git $env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\nvim\
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Post Installation
|
|
|
|
Start Neovim
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nvim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `Lazy` plugin manager will start automatically on the first run and install the configured plugins - as can be seen in the introduction video. 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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Recommended Steps
|
|
|
|
[Fork](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo) this repo (so that you have your own copy that you can modify) and then installing you can install to your machine using the methods above.
|
|
|
|
> **NOTE**
|
|
> Your fork's url will be something like this: `https://github.com/<your_github_username>/kickstart.nvim.git`
|
|
|
|
### Configuration And Extension
|
|
|
|
* Inside of your copy, feel free to modify any file you like! It's your copy!
|
|
* Feel free to change any of the default options in `init.lua` to better suit your needs.
|
|
* For adding plugins, there are 3 primary options:
|
|
* Add new configuration in `lua/custom/plugins/*` files, which will be auto sourced using `lazy.nvim` (uncomment the line importing the `custom/plugins` directory in the `init.lua` file to enable this)
|
|
* Modify `init.lua` with additional plugins.
|
|
* Include the `lua/kickstart/plugins/*` files in your configuration.
|
|
|
|
You can also merge updates/changes from the repo back into your fork, to keep up-to-date with any changes for the default configuration.
|
|
|
|
#### Example: Adding an autopairs plugin
|
|
|
|
In the file: `lua/custom/plugins/autopairs.lua`, add:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- File: lua/custom/plugins/autopairs.lua
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
"windwp/nvim-autopairs",
|
|
-- Optional dependency
|
|
dependencies = { 'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp' },
|
|
config = function()
|
|
require("nvim-autopairs").setup {}
|
|
-- If you want to automatically add `(` after selecting a function or method
|
|
local cmp_autopairs = require('nvim-autopairs.completion.cmp')
|
|
local cmp = require('cmp')
|
|
cmp.event:on(
|
|
'confirm_done',
|
|
cmp_autopairs.on_confirm_done()
|
|
)
|
|
end,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will automatically install [windwp/nvim-autopairs](https://github.com/windwp/nvim-autopairs) and enable it on startup. For more information, see documentation for [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim).
|
|
|
|
#### Example: Adding a file tree plugin
|
|
|
|
In the file: `lua/custom/plugins/filetree.lua`, add:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- Unless you are still migrating, remove the deprecated commands from v1.x
|
|
vim.cmd([[ let g:neo_tree_remove_legacy_commands = 1 ]])
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
"nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim",
|
|
version = "*",
|
|
dependencies = {
|
|
"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
|
|
"nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons", -- not strictly required, but recommended
|
|
"MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
|
|
},
|
|
config = function ()
|
|
require('neo-tree').setup {}
|
|
end,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will install the tree plugin and add the command `:Neotree` for you. You can explore the documentation at [neo-tree.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-neo-tree/neo-tree.nvim) for more information.

### 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
|
|
|
|
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/`
|
|
* 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 a script `~/bin/nvim-kickstart`:
|
|
```
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
exec env NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-kickstart nvim "$@"
|
|
```
|
|
When you run Neovim with `nvim-kickstart` 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://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim#-uninstalling) information
|
|
* Are there any cool videos about this plugin?
|
|
* Current iteration of kickstart (coming soon)
|
|
* Here is one about the previous iteration of kickstart: [video introduction to Kickstart.nvim](https://youtu.be/stqUbv-5u2s). Note the install via init.lua no longer works as specified. Please follow the install instructions in this file instead as they're up to date.
|
|
* 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. A fork of kickstart that does this while maintaining the exact
|
|
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)

### Windows Installation
|
|
|
|
Installation may require installing build tools, and updating the run command for `telescope-fzf-native`

|
|
|
|
This requires:
|
|
|
|
- Install CMake, and the Microsoft C++ Build Tools on Windows
|
|
