Neovim Configuration

Personal Neovim 0.12 configuration using the native plugin manager (vim.pack).

Installation

Prerequisites

• Neovim 0.12+
• Nerd Font installed and configured in your terminal
• Git
• A C compiler (gcc or clang) for Treesitter parser and telescope-fzf-native compilation
• Python 3.12 via uv with pynvim installed in a dedicated Neovim virtual environment
• StyLua for Lua formatting checks outside Neovim

System packages

Install via your package manager (e.g. brew, apt):

• ripgrep — required by Telescope for live grep
• xclip — required for system clipboard support
• tree-sitter — required by nvim-treesitter
• tree-sitter-cli — required for Treesitter parser installation

Setup

1. Back up any existing Neovim configuration:

   mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak

2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/nvim.git ~/.config/nvim

3. Create the Python virtual environment for Neovim:

   uv python install 3.12
   mkdir -p ~/.virtualenvs
   uv venv --python 3.12 ~/.virtualenvs/nvim
   uv pip install --python ~/.virtualenvs/nvim/bin/python pynvim

4. Launch Neovim:

   nvim

On first launch, plugins are pulled automatically via vim.pack and Mason installs all configured LSP servers, formatters, and linters.

Formatting

Lua formatting is standardized with StyLua. In Neovim, conform.nvim uses StyLua for Lua buffers on save and through <leader>f.

To format or verify from the command line:

stylua .
stylua --check .
