On Windows, when new users install kickstart it blows up by default
because having a C compiler in PATH is not a reaonle expectation on hat
platform.
Also, this should decrease first use startup time substantially on all
platforms because curl-ing down a binary is much faster than compiling
from scratch.
Also updated README as Windows folks are expected to turn on developer
mode so symlinks and 'curl' will work.
We've removed over 1/3 of the code that was in kickstart previously,
and more than doubled the amount of comments explaining every line
of code (to the best of my ability).
kickstart now properly uses many of the lazy.nvim config and loading
idioms, which should be really helpful for people moving both to
modular configs, as well as extending the kickstart config in one file.
Additional features:
- Beautiful ascii art
- Added some documentation that explains what is an LSP, what is telescope, etc
- There is now a `:checkhealth` for kickstart, which checks some basic information
and adds useful information for maintainers (for people cloning the repo).
- Improved LSP configuration and tool installation, for easier first time startup
- Changed init.lua ordering, so that it moves from simple options to complicated config

Only run the github stylua workflow check on the official
kickstart repo (nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim) so that it's not
enforced on any other forks.

Changing this second "Introduction" heading to "Getting Started"
The recent change in README which moved the youtube link from FAQ
to it's own section used the heading "Introduction" which is already
the first heading in the file.
This commit introduces three additional fields - `sync_install`, `ignore_install`, and `modules` - to the Treesitter configuration. This update is aimed at resolving warnings that were previously displayed, potentially causing confusion or frustration for new users of Neovim. By explicitly defining these fields, the configuration aligns better with the latest `nvim-treesitter` requirements.
Addressing issue nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim#570
This improves the github workflow to no longer require manual
approval for PRs from first time contributors.
Changes the github event from pull_request to pull_request_target
and adds an explicit PR head checkout
To help new users get started, how about moving the video link ("Effective Neovim: Instant IDE ") right after "Post Installation"?
This way new users, can install it, and right away proceed to learn how to use it.
GitHub Action used:
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/stylua
This runs `stylua --check` on a PR and it will show
success or failure. The suggested stylua changes can
be inspected when clicking on the details.
The PR can still be merged even if the check fails.
Added information on where to install if you use Powershell in windows. Since CMD and Powershell work differently.
`%userprofile%` only works for the CMD application.
`$env:USERPROFILE` works in Powershell.
Change the recommendation to just run nvim normally instead of the headless
mode for the first run. This will show Lazy UI updating the plugins which
would match what the video show and may be easier to understand what is going
on thant the silent headless run.
