# kickstart.nvim
### Introduction
A starting point for Neovim that is:
* Small (<500 lines)
* Single-file
* Small
* Single-file (with examples of moving to multi-file)
* Documented
* Modular
Kickstart.nvim targets *only* the latest ['stable'](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/stable) and latest ['nightly'](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/nightly) of Neovim. If you are experiencing issues, please make sure you have the latest versions.
This repo is meant to be used as a starting point for a user's own configuration; remove the things you don't use and add what you miss. Please refrain from leaving comments about enabling / disabling particular languages out of the box.
This repo is meant to be used as by **YOU** to begin your Neovim journey; remove the things you don't use and add what you miss.
### Installation
Kickstart.nvim targets *only* the latest ['stable'](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/stable) and latest ['nightly'](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/tag/nightly) of Neovim. If you are experiencing issues, please make sure you have the latest versions.
* Backup your previous configuration
* Copy and paste the kickstart.nvim `init.lua` into `$HOME/.config/nvim/init.lua` (Linux/Mac) or `~/AppData/Local/nvim/init.lua` (Windows)
TODO: This isn't right anymore. Also, link to the sections about setting up the installation from the lazy readme
* Start Neovim (`nvim`) and run `:PackerInstall` - ignore any error message about missing plugins, `:PackerInstall` will fix that shortly
* Start Neovim (`nvim`) and allow `lazy.nvim` to complete installation.
* Restart Neovim
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:
Additional system requirements:
- Make sure to review the readmes of the plugins in the plugin list if anything is missing. In particular:
- [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installation) is required for multiple [telescope](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim#suggested-dependencies) pickers.
### 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).
### Windows Installation
Installation may require installing build tools, and updating the run command for `telescope-fzf-native`
@ -42,52 +91,3 @@ This requires:
use {'nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim', run = 'cmake -S. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build --config Release && cmake --install build --prefix build' }
```
### 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' })
```

* Custom language server configuration (null-ls templates)
* Theming beyond a default colorscheme necessary for LSP highlight groups
* Lazy-loading. Kickstart.nvim should start within 40 ms on modern hardware. Please profile and contribute to upstream plugins to optimize startup time instead.
