  • Latest version on Debian stable with updates
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Dec 2023
    That depends on the debian stable repo what version of Neovim they provide. My suggestion would be to check out bob, which as far as I'm concerned it's the easiest way of installing Neovim and gives you the ability to switch between stable and nightly.
  • Sharing neovim settup
    5 projects | /r/neovim | 22 Sep 2023
    Config details: 0. Distribution: AlmaLinux 9 (what I'm forced to use at work) 1. Also requires: git, curl, clang, rustup, fzf 2. neovim version manager: https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob 3. I'd like to use the LazyVim setup 4. using an nvims() shell function to switch between setups (default & LazyVim, for now) (see https://gist.github.com/elijahmanor/b279553c0132bfad7eae23e34ceb593b)
  • What is the proper way to install?
    6 projects | /r/neovim | 1 Jul 2023
    I personally use bob, ($ cargo install bob-nvim), and it's been great for ease of version management, including nightly
  • Telescope broke on me
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 25 May 2023
    Honest just use bob on non-bleeding edge distro
  • NVIM 0.9.0 was released
    11 projects | /r/neovim | 7 Apr 2023
    I use on all platforms: https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob
  • Treesitter missing supported language
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 28 Mar 2023
    current stable is 0.8.3 maybe try the unstable ppa or appimage or bob.nvim
  • 🎥 Neovim Config Switcher
    6 projects | /r/neovim | 27 Mar 2023
    If you want to peek at it now, you could try a neovim version manager like bob... https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob I've been using it recently and it makes experimenting with new stuff a bit easier. Then if you run into issues you can switch back to a stable release. I'm considering doing a video on this too since I think it would be helpful to some... and I don't think it's very well known
  • I love vim but I don't want it as a hobby
    8 projects | /r/neovim | 11 Mar 2023
    Personally I have both the previous and latest stables installed (mostly for testing plugin contributions), as well as a script that builds nightly . If you didn't know, they include prebuilt assets on the releases page, or you can use bob, in case your distro falls behind.
  • Annoucning Bob v2.1.0
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Mar 2023
    I am sorry for the inconvenience but bob only downloads versions from the official release page oj github, for now I can't really change that. Refer to https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob/issues/100
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 9 Mar 2023
