# kickstart.nvim
|
||||
|
||||
### Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
A starting point for Neovim that is:
|
||||
|
||||
* Small (<500 lines)
|
||||
* Single-file
|
||||
* Small
|
||||
* Single-file (with examples of moving to multi-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.
|
||||
This repo is meant to be used as by **YOU** to begin your Neovim journey; remove the things you don't use and add what you miss.
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
* Backup your previous configuration
|
||||
* Copy and paste the kickstart.nvim `init.lua` into `$HOME/.config/nvim/init.lua` (Linux/Mac) or `~/AppData/Local/nvim/init.lua` (Windows)
|
||||
|
||||
TODO: This isn't right anymore. Also, link to the sections about setting up the installation from the lazy readme
|
||||
* Start Neovim (`nvim`) and run `:PackerInstall` - ignore any error message about missing plugins, `:PackerInstall` will fix that shortly
|
||||
|
||||
* Start Neovim (`nvim`) and allow `lazy.nvim` to complete installation.
|
||||
* 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).

|
||||
Additional system requirements:
|
||||
- Make sure to review the readmes of the plugins in the plugin list if anything is missing. In particular:
|
||||
- [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installation) is required for multiple [telescope](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim#suggested-dependencies) pickers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
* Fork this repo so that you have your own copy.
|
||||
* Inside of your fork, feel free to modify any file you like! It's your fork!
|
||||
* Then there are two primary configuration options available:
|
||||
* Include the `lua/kickstart/plugins/*` files in your configuration.
|
||||
* Add new configuration in `lua/custom/plugins/*` files, which will be auto sourced using `lazy.nvim`
|
||||
|
||||
#### 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",
|
||||
config = function()
|
||||
require("nvim-autopairs").setup {}
|
||||
end,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will automatically install `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 to change default options
|
||||
|
||||
To change default options, 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
|
||||
|
||||
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/`
|
||||
* 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).

### Windows Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Installation may require installing build tools, and updating the run command for `telescope-fzf-native`
|
||||
@ -42,52 +91,3 @@ This requires:
|
||||
use {'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', run = 'cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build --config Release && cmake --install build --prefix build' }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 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' })
|
||||
```

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