This is my all in one, pure Lua NeoVim configuration.

Warning: This is best used as a reference.

Currently, I don't plan to maintain this like a "configuration distribution". Rather, this is my personal, curated experience that you might also like. But there are no releases, no breaking change contracts, and minimal support.

Regardless, if you have a question, feel free to open an issue, pull request, or discussion!

Pre-req

1. Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. This can easily be done via the managed pacakge installation (like with brew or apt).

sudo apt install neovim

You'll need a newer version of Nvim (at least 0.9):

$ nvim --version
NVIM v0.9.1
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3

   system vimrc file: "$VIM/sysinit.vim"
  fall-back for $VIM: "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/neovim/0.9.1/share/nvim"

Run :checkhealth for more info

Quickstart

1. (Optional) Backup your existing Neovim configuration

cp -r ~/.config/nvim/ ~/.config/nvim-backup/

2. Clone this repository into your ~/.config/nvim directory

git clone https://github.com/jpmcb/nvim-lua-conf.git ~/.config/nvim

3. Make sure you have Packer installed on your system. You can read more about Packer, installation, and how it works in their docs

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\
 ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

But just in case, Packer does install itself automatically if it's not already present. But be aware that this flow sort of sucks: on first running Nvim after it automatically installs itself, packer returns a ton of errors (since the plugin syncing step hasn't been executed yet).

4. Start a new Neovim session and run Packer sync to get all the plugins
