LazyVim: A Lua repository from LazyVim

Install · Configure · Docs

LazyVim is a Neovim setup powered by 💤 lazy.nvim to make it easy to customize and extend your config. Rather than having to choose between starting from scratch or using a pre-made distro, LazyVim offers the best of both worlds - the flexibility to tweak your config as needed, along with the convenience of a pre-configured setup.

✨ Features

🔥 Transform your Neovim into a full-fledged IDE
💤 Easily customize and extend your config with lazy.nvim
🚀 Blazingly fast
🧹 Sane default settings for options, autocmds, and keymaps
📦 Comes with a wealth of plugins pre-configured and ready to use

⚡️ Requirements

Neovim >= 0.8.0 (needs to be built with LuaJIT)
Git >= 2.19.0 (for partial clones support)
a Nerd Font (optional)

🚀 Getting Started

You can find a starter template for LazyVim here

Try it with Docker

docker run -w /root -it --rm alpine:edge sh -uelic '
  apk add git lazygit neovim ripgrep alpine-sdk --update
  git clone https://github.com/LazyVim/starter ~/.config/nvim
  cd ~/.config/nvim
  nvim
'

Install the LazyVim Starter

Make a backup of your current Neovim files:

mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak
mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim.bak

Clone the starter

git clone https://github.com/LazyVim/starter ~/.config/nvim

Remove the .git folder, so you can add it to your own repo later
```
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/.git
```
Start Neovim!
```
nvim
```
Refer to the comments in the files on how to customize LazyVim.

📂 File Structure

The files under config will be automatically loaded at the appropriate time, so you don't need to require those files manually. LazyVim comes with a set of default config files that will be loaded before your own. See here

You can add your custom plugin specs under lua/plugins/. All files there will be automatically loaded by lazy.nvim
