Also check out the LazyVim starter. It's a starter Neovim config using lazy.nvim as a package manager, which I'd personally prefer over packer. https://github.com/LazyVim/starter

neovim starter config

Simple configuration to get started with with Neovim.

What's included

Packer for package management (packer)
Language Server Support (nvim-lsp-installer, nvim-lspconfig)
Tree sitter grammar support (nvim-treesitter)
Completions (nvim-cmp)
File menus (telescope)
Keymap menus (which-key)

It does not include some things, but can be integrated as needed (see optional_extras.lua).

Status line plugin (lualine)
Code formatting (null-ls)
File explorer (eg, neo-tree)
Git integration (eg, neogit)
Snippets (eg, luasnip)

Usage

Neovim 0.7 is required. Paste init.lua into ~/.config/nvim/init.lua.

mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rstacruz/nvim-starter/main/init.lua -o ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
# ...or paste init.lua into ~/.config/nvim/init.lua

Want to try it without overriding your config?

To give it a try without overriding your existing Neovim config:

# Using `./nvim` will run Neovim with the nvim-starter config.
# It won't modify your user's Neovim config.
git clone https://github.com/rstacruz/nvim-starter.git
cd nvim-starter
./nvim

Adding languages

Edit init.lua, and enable syntax for them (under nvim-treesitter.configs). Optionally, advanced features can be unlocked by enablieng their language server (under lspconfig).

Goals

Provide a template for new Neovim users to start with
Keep it in 1 file (init.lua) under 150 lines as much as possible
