My neovim config

Neovim LazyVim for editing // Kitty for the terminal.

I often switch between Linux (Debian) and MacOS for programming. This setup works well for both cases.

Before installing neovim and the neovim config, make sure you satisfy the requirements.

# to install on debian
sudo apt-get install fd-find

sudo apt-get install neovim
nvim -h

# mac (i do not recommend homebrew)
brew install fd
curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/v0.9.5/nvim-macos.tar.gz
tar xzf nvim-macos.tar.gz
./nvim-macos/bin/nvim -h

# recommend adding the nvim alias
echo "alias nvim='/Users/jack/nvim-macos-arm64/bin/nvim'" >> .zshrc
exec $SHELL

nvim config installation

# as easy as:
git clone https://github.com/jackycamp/nvim.git ~/.config/nvim

kitty config installation

Installing kitty is pretty straight-forward. Just follow the instructions.

Then you need to move a couple of things around.

# copy over the kitty config
cp ~/.config/nvim/kitty.conf ~/.config/kitty/

# and don't forget the sick background pic
cp ~/.config/nvim/choso-bg.png ~/choso-bg.png

Then launch neovim (in accordance with your host) and the config should load automatically!
