Neovim configuration based on NvChad

This repository contains my personal setup for Neovim built on top of NvChad. All NvChad modules are loaded as a plugin through lazy.nvim and extended with additional plugins and options.

Pre-requisites

• Neovim 0.11 or higher
• Nerd Font set as your terminal font (e.g. JetBrainsMono Nerd Font). Avoid variants ending with Mono to prevent small icons.
• Ripgrep for Telescope search (optional)
• GCC (on Windows use mingw and add it to your PATH)
• make (on Windows install GnuWin32 and add it to your PATH)
• Delete any previous Neovim configuration folders before installing.

Installation

1. Remove or move your current ~/.config/nvim directory.
2. Clone this repository into ~/.config/nvim:

   git clone https://github.com/wh1teend/nvim ~/.config/nvim

3. Start Neovim. On the first launch lazy.nvim will automatically install all required plugins.

Update

To synchronize plugins run:

:Lazy sync

• Light and dark ayu themes with quick switching.
• Preconfigured LSP for HTML, CSS, Python, TypeScript, PHP and more.
• Automatic formatting and linting on save.

• File manager nvim-tree, fuzzy searching with telescope and TODO highlight.
