This is still something of my own config

What is Nvix?

Nvix is a collection of the .config/nvim files that are used to customize neovim that I have configured and used by me.

Directory structure

NOTE: Windows and Linux/Unix/WSL have different paths for nvim configurations:

Linux/Unix/WSL: ~/.config/nvim/init.vim or ~/.vimrc (for compatibility with Vim)

Windows: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\nvim\init.vim

And I am focusing on Linux/Unix/WSL

git commit amend -m "Amended the version of nvim (0.9.5); harpoon.lua to the directory structure"

Installation - Must read

Prerequisites:

• Neovim (nvim) version 9.5 and above.
  

See nvim repo to see the installation details, or I have provided them below as well so you can build it by yourself.

Build from source:

Install dependencies:

sudo apt-get install ninja-build gettext cmake unzip curl

Clone Neovim repo:

git clone https://github.com/neovim/neovim.git

cd neovim

Checkout stable version (0.9.5):

git checkout v0.9.5

Build and install:

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

sudo make install

• Nvix uses vim-plug as the plugin manager.
  

Reffer to vim-plug for installation steps. Otherwise, I have provided the necessary steps below.

Neovim (If you want to install it on Neovim - Unix/Linux/WSL)

Unix, Linux, WSL

sh -c 'curl -fLo "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
       https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim'

Linux (Flatpak)

curl -fLo ~/.var/app/io.neovim.nvim/data/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Windows (PowerShell)

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim |`
    ni "$(@($env:XDG_DATA_HOME, $env:LOCALAPPDATA)[$null -eq $env:XDG_DATA_HOME])/nvim-data/site/autoload/plug.vim" -Force

Run this command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/Rektagun/Nvix $HOME/.config/nvim

But, if you already have used nvim before, you must have something in the directory.. In this case you should use:

mv .config/nvim .config/nvim_backup
git clone https://github.com/Rektagun/Nvix .config/nvim
mv .config/nvim_backup/ .config/nvim/
rm -rf .config/nvim_backup

This way, you'll keep the things you already have in the config, given that they won't collide with each other.

Another way is to delete the config file alltogether and then cloning the repo:

rm -rf .config/nvim
git clone https://github.com/Rektagun/Nvix .config/nvim

Wow

Usage

To open nvim, type:

nvim

Now that nvim is open, you might see an error, just hit Esc and run :PlugInstall, now quit nvim by :q and reopen it.
You can see many keymappings, use them to navigate to the plugins.vim file, and uncomment the plugins you want to use (simply go on the line and use :gcc or :gc to comment/uncomment. After doing that, run :w and then :source % or :so , you can also just use Ctrl+S (which is one of the keymappings to save-source and go to Startify at the same time, hehe).
