satrac / vvnraman.neovim-config

A neovim only config repo extracted out of my dotfile at https://github.com/vvnraman/dotfiles, which I keep in sync

Prateek's Neovim configuration

These are kept in sync with my dotfiles. The dotfiles are managed using chezmoi.

The Neovim configuration here is extracted out for trying it out on other platforms, without necesarily depending upon the rest of my dotfiles.

How to try this config non-intrusively

The instructions below apply to a linux environment. Using them will not interfere with an existing Neovim setup. Its uses the builtin Neovim feature $NVIM_APPNAME https://neovim.io/doc/user/starting.html#%24NVIM_APPNAME.

Pre-requisites

ripgrep and fd are installed on the system

Assumptions

1. ~/.local/bin/ already exists in user's $PATH
2. Neovim executable is present at /usr/bin/nvim (see previous section)

If these assumptions are not met, one can alter the instructions as needed.

Steps

1. Clone this repo at ~/.config/pvim

   git clone https://github.com/vvnraman/neovim-config ~/.config/pvim

2. Create a file ~/.local/bin/pvim and mark it executable

   mkdir -p ~/.local/bin/
   touch ~/.local/bin/pvim
   chmod +x ~/.local/bin/pvim

3. Add the following contents to ~/.local/bin/pvim

   #/usr/bin/env bash
   NVIM_APPNAME=pvim /usr/bin/nvim $@

4. Run pvim
