neovim config

I like neovim.

My goal with this repo was a relatively hands-free installation of nvim and everything needed to turn it into a decent everyday editor. It's not as feature-rich as something like VS code, but it should serve as a good lightweight alternative for most things I need to do.

Note: I recently gave this repo a major overhaul because I wanted autocomplete, better LSP support, and for nvim to feel like an actual editor. To view the old version of the config, you can view the legacy tag in this git repo

requirements

Neovim 0.12+
npm installed globally
tree-sitter cli (see here)
Git, a C compiler, curl, tar, and unzip on your $PATH

See:

installation

Everything required here is handled in my install script. If you want to install just this config manually:

# install neovim 0.12+
curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest/download/nvim-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
sudo rm -rf /opt/nvim-linux-x86_64
sudo tar -C /opt -xzf nvim-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
rm nvim-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

# add /opt/nvim-linux-x86_64/bin/ to your $PATH
# (put this in your shell's .rc file)
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/nvim-linux-x86_64/bin"

# install tree-sitter CLI
curl -LO https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/releases/latest/download/tree-sitter-cli-linux-x64.zip
sudo unzip ./tree-sitter-cli-linux-x64.zip -d /opt/nvim-linux-x86_64/bin/
rm ./tree-sitter-cli-linux-x64.zip

# clone this repo to your nvim config
git clone https://gitea.jovan04.com/evan/neovim-config ~/.config/nvim

# it might also be helpful to set up an alias (also in .rc)
alias nv="nvim"
