The Neovim Config for Mac
Most of this configuration are copied from David Chen and Christian Chiarulli . I configure the setting from the scratch so I can fully understand their code and apply it to my Mac. I strongly recommend to give it a try and apply their brilliant work to your own workflow. Please check this README file!
