A very minimal Neovim configuration I use for work. It does not rely on any plugin managers and does not randomly execute untrusted code from the internet.
Anyway, if you're wondering where you can learn about all this, there are plenty of videos and channels on YouTube.
Clone this repository:
git clone [email protected]:bkircher/nvim-config.git ~/.config/nvim
You can easily manage plugins manually in Neovim, see :help packages. Here I
use git submodules to install, update, and track plugins inside the Neovim
config directory (~/.config/nvim) and use a symlink to the runtime path:
~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/plugins → ~/.config/nvim/plugins
Create the necessary directories and symlinks first. Create the plugin directory:
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/
$ cd ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack
Create a symlink into your Neovim config directory:
$ ln -s ~/.config/nvim/plugins plugins
Then clone the plugin of your choice into your ~/.config/nvim/plugins/start
directory. For example, you would install nvim-treesitter as follows
$ cd ~/.config/nvim
$ git submodule add [email protected]:nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter.git \
plugins/start/nvim-treesitter
This adds a git submodule to your source tree which you can introspect and
manage with git. For example, with git submodule you can list all installed
plugins and the referenced versions:
$ git submodule
71a8e8b4b6ebab39765615334d4241a18090a651 plugins/start/nvim-treesitter (v0.9.2-561-g71a8e8b4)
To update a plugin, say nvim-treesitter, you would navigate to the plugin directory and pull the latest changes
$ cd ~/.config/nvim/plugins/start/nvim-treesitter
$ git pull
Then, reopen Neovim and run TSUpdate again to update parsers if needed.
