TODO: This isn't right anymore. Also, link to the sections about setting up the installation from the lazy readme

Additional system requirements:

If there are languages that you don't want to use, remove their configuration and notes from your `init.lua` after copy and pasting (for example, in the mason configuration).

Additional requirements:

|

- Make sure to review the readmes of the plugins in the plugin list if anything is missing. In particular:

### Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Fork this repo so that you have your own copy.
|
||||||
|
* Inside of your fork, feel free to modify any file you like! It's your fork!
|
||||||
|
* Then there are two primary configuration options available:
|
||||||
|
* Include the `lua/kickstart/plugins/*` files in your configuration.
|
||||||
|
* Add new configuration in `lua/custom/plugins/*` files, which will be auto sourced using `lazy.nvim`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Example: Adding an autopairs plugin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the file: `lua/custom/plugins/autopairs.lua`, add:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```lua
|
||||||
|
-- File: lua/custom/plugins/autopairs.lua
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
return {
|
||||||
|
"windwp/nvim-autopairs",
|
||||||
|
config = function()
|
||||||
|
require("nvim-autopairs").setup {}
|
||||||
|
end,
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will automatically install `nvim-autopairs` and enable it on startup. For more information, see documentation for [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Example: Adding a file to change default options
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To change default options, you can add a file in the `/after/plugin/` folder (see `:help load-plugins`) to include your own options, keymaps, autogroups, and more. The following is an example `defaults.lua` file (located at `$HOME/.config/nvim/after/plugin/defaults.lua`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```lua
|
||||||
|
vim.opt.relativenumber = true
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>sr', require('telescope.builtin').resume, { desc = '[S]earch [R]esume' })
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Contribution
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Pull-requests are welcome. The goal of this repo is not to create a Neovim configuration framework, but to offer a starting template that shows, by example, available features in Neovim. Some things that will not be included:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Custom language server configuration (null-ls templates)
|
||||||
|
* Theming beyond a default colorscheme necessary for LSP highlight groups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each PR, especially those which increase the line count, should have a description as to why the PR is necessary.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### FAQ
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* What should I do if I already have a pre-existing neovim configuration?
|
||||||
|
* You should back it up, then delete all files associated with it.
|
||||||
|
* This includes your existing init.lua and the neovim files in `.local` which can be deleted with `rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/`
|
||||||
|
* Are there any cool videos about this plugin?
|
||||||
|
* Current iteration of kickstart (coming soon)
|
||||||
|
* Here is one about the previous iteration of kickstart: [video introduction to Kickstart.nvim](https://youtu.be/stqUbv-5u2s).

### Configuration
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You could directly modify the `init.lua` file with your personal customizations. This option is the most straightforward, but if you update your config from this repo, you may need to reapply your changes.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
An alternative approach is to create a separate `custom.plugins` module to register your own plugins. In addition, you can handle further customizations in the `/after/plugin/` directory (see `:help load-plugins`). See the following examples for more information. Leveraging this technique should make upgrading to a newer version of this repo easier.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Example `plugins.lua`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The following is an example of a `plugins.lua` module (located at `$HOME/.config/nvim/lua/custom/plugins.lua`) where you can register your own plugins.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```lua
|
|
||||||
return function(use)
|
|
||||||
use({
|
|
||||||
"folke/which-key.nvim",
|
|
||||||
config = function()
|
|
||||||
require("which-key").setup({})
|
|
||||||
end
|
|
||||||
})
|
|
||||||
end
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Example `defaults.lua`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For further customizations, you can add a file in the `/after/plugin/` folder (see `:help load-plugins`) to include your own options, keymaps, autogroups, and more. The following is an example `defaults.lua` file (located at `$HOME/.config/nvim/after/plugin/defaults.lua`).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```lua
|
|
||||||
vim.opt.relativenumber = true
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>sr', require('telescope.builtin').resume, { desc = '[S]earch [R]esume' })
|
|
||||||
```
