nvim VS alpha-nvim

I'm primarily frontend but work across the stack, this is my config: https://github.com/harrisoncramer/nvim/tree/main

Yes: my config uses nvim-dap and I just wrote a post about debugging in Neovim here

Thanks so much for any help you can provide! My config, for reference, is here: https://github.com/harrisoncramer/nvim

Basically, I'm calling a custom :Share command that then does some vim commands like setting color schemes and turning off relative line numbering, then it calls a bash script that hits or a bunch of times depending on whether or not I'm already sharing. Details are in my dotfiles for anyone who is interested! I hadn't seen too many people calling bash scripts from within Neovim, which IMO unlocks some pretty rad workflows!

Sure, my configs are here: https://github.com/harrisoncramer/nvim

It’s quite complicated to do this but I’ve got a working setup, check out my LSP configuration here (the call to require the colorizer module) and the colorizer module here. Play around with uncommenting line 67 of the colorizer if you’re having issues, this will clear the colors. This is ripped off from kabouzeid’s dot files.

Here's my config and specifically my LSP configuration is here.

I use alpha too, added some fun ascii art! Here are my dot files https://github.com/harrisoncramer/nvim

The plugins are: https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim and https://github.com/rmagatti/auto-session

The one that I ended up using is alpha.nvim. It has a really easy configuration interface and is super customizable. It also worked with my colorscheme right out of the box.

alpha.nvim, you can use this plugin. :)

It has something to do with my configuration, I can't seem to display Alpha when starting nvim. There isn't even :Alpha when I start nvim, I have to type :lua require'alpha'.setup(require'alpha.themes.startify'.config), to be able to launch it.

I'm currently using alpha.nvim (https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim). It tries to be more generic than the others, to the point it can recreate most of the other popular ones. It even has template for for example the dashboard layout. startup-nvim (https://github.com/startup-nvim/startup.nvim) seems to do a similar thing, although I dont' have experience with that one. The only other one I've tried before is the classic vim-startify (https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify), which is a little older I think and locks you into its layout.

Is this the alpha-nvim plugin? What do you mean by "load?" alpha-nvim has some examples here, but you basically just pass your config to the setup function.

An `after_all` callback for for when all startup commands have been executed (I use this to restart alpha)

i experimented with generalizing the code for https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim for the express purpose of writing sidebars / fuzzy finders etc with the ui builder dsl here https://github.com/goolord/gamma-ui-nvim but I never got around to fleshing it out.

are you doing this for fun? "startify with a focus on extreme extensibility" was my motivation for https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim lol. configuring startify just made me too mad

I'm not certain of what you mean by banners, but if you're referring to the startup screen in the second screenshot, that's from alpha-nvim: https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim
