# kickstart.nvim
|
|
|
|
### Introduction
|
|
|
|
A starting point for Neovim that is:
|
|
|
|
* Small
|
|
* Single-file (with examples of moving to multi-file)
|
|
* Documented
|
|
* Modular
|
|
|
|
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 `$HOME/.config/nvim/init.lua` (Linux/Mac) or `~/AppData/Local/nvim/init.lua` (Windows)
|
|
* Start Neovim (`nvim`) and allow `lazy.nvim` to complete installation.
|
|
* Restart Neovim
|
|
|
|
Additional system requirements:
|
|
- Make sure to review the readmes of the plugins in the plugin list if anything is missing. In particular:
|
|
- [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installation) is required for multiple [telescope](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim#suggested-dependencies) pickers.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
* Fork this repo so that you have your own copy.
|
|
* Inside of your fork, feel free to modify any file you like! It's your fork!
|
|
* Then there are two primary configuration options available:
|
|
* Include the `lua/kickstart/plugins/*` files in your configuration.
|
|
* Add new configuration in `lua/custom/plugins/*` files, which will be auto sourced using `lazy.nvim`
|
|
|
|
#### Example: Adding an autopairs plugin
|
|
|
|
In the file: `lua/custom/plugins/autopairs.lua`, add:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
-- File: lua/custom/plugins/autopairs.lua
|
|
|
|
return {
|
|
"windwp/nvim-autopairs",
|
|
config = function()
|
|
require("nvim-autopairs").setup {}
|
|
end,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will automatically install `nvim-autopairs` and enable it on startup. For more information, see documentation for [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim).
|
|
|
|
#### Example: Adding a file to change default options
|
|
|
|
To change default options, you can add a file in the `/after/plugin/` folder (see `:help load-plugins`) to include your own options, keymaps, autogroups, and more. The following is an example `defaults.lua` file (located at `$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).
