Getting Started

The Only Video You Need to Get Started with Neovim

FAQ

  • What should I do if I already have a pre-existing neovim configuration?
    • You should back it up and then delete all associated files.
    • This includes your existing init.lua and the neovim files in ~/.local which can be deleted with rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim/
  • Can I keep my existing configuration in parallel to kickstart?
    • Yes! You can use NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-NAME to maintain multiple configurations. For example, you can install the kickstart configuration in ~/.config/nvim-kickstart and create an alias: 
      alias nvim-kickstart='NVIM_APPNAME="nvim-kickstart" nvim'
      When you run Neovim using nvim-kickstart alias it will use the alternative config directory and the matching local directory ~/.local/share/nvim-kickstart. You can apply this approach to any Neovim distribution that you would like to try out.
