Neovim Configuration

Personal Neovim configuration using Neovim's native vim.pack package manager.

Requirements

• Neovim 0.12 or newer
• git
• tree-sitter CLI and a C compiler
• ripgrep and fd (recommended for faster Snacks searches)
• a patched Nerd Font (optional)

Mason installs the configured language servers, formatters, and linters. Native package revisions are recorded in nvim-pack-lock.json.

Package management

Update packages and review the resulting confirmation buffer:

:lua vim.pack.update()

Write the confirmation buffer to apply updates, then use :restart. To remove a package, delete its specification from lua/user/deps.lua, restart, and call vim.pack.del() for the inactive package.
