Introduction

This repo hosts my Nvim configuration for Linux, macOS, and Windows. init.vim is the config entry point for terminal Nvim, and ginit.vim is the additional config file for GUI client of Nvim.

My configurations are heavily documented to make it as clear as possible. While you can download the whole repository and use it, it is not recommended though. Good configurations are personal. Everyone should have his or her unique config file. You are encouraged to copy from this repo the part you feel useful and add it to your own Nvim config.

Install and setup

See doc here on how to install Nvim's dependencies, Nvim itself, and how to set up on different platforms (Linux, macOS, and Windows).

This config is tested against Nvim v0.6.1 release. No backward compatibility is guaranteed.
