neovim-nightly-overlay VS nixos-configuration

Don't use nix build to build neovim. Add an overlay to your flake and use home-manager programs.neovim option. It will automatically compile latest neovim for you when you rebuild the configuration.

Relevant? https://github.com/nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay/issues/164

You can use the overlay

You can use the nix-community overlay or the flake.

-- SNIP -- nixpkgs.overlays = [ (import (builtins.fetchTarball { url = https://github.com/nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz; })) ]; -- SNIP -- programs = { neovim = { enable = true; package = pkgs.neovim-nightly; configure = { customRC = (builtins.readFile ./init.vim); }; }; }; -- SNIP --

There is no centralised way of sharing user packages. But you can create package overlays or use sombodys overlays if you can find them (e.g. I use neovim nightly overlay).

However, then you run into this issue.

Ok so I am using https://github.com/nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay to build neovim from source in order to use the latest features. Does anyone know of any way I can specify makeflags, such as march=native or O3 when building the package? Thanks so much for your help.

I'm using https://github.com/nix-community/neovim-nightly-overlay which does get Neovim 0.5 running, it's just not using my init.lua properly, picking up its own init.vim instead.

You can create custom nixos modules and enable them in desired systems. E.g. Here is my custom gaming module and here I enable it for one of my machines.

Sure, here is my rpi config. I'll need to check the bootloader file later and let you know.

I have slightly different workflow (direnv + flakes + poetry + nvim). Take a look at my template. You can put this flake.nix file in a poetry based project and type nix develop to enter a shell with activated poetry venv and all dependencies installed. Launch helix from this shell and you are good to go.

This is great. I have a very simmilar flake, but with venvShellHook so venv is also activated when I enter the project directort.

If you need reference, I have my setup on github.

Sorry from the invalid command, that is a derp from my side :x I also use zsh, but I don't have the same issue with # and I don't do anything special in my config to mitigate this... You can also use a backslash to escape this character (tab completion always inserts it for me). Anyway this is my zsh config if you need a reference.

Gnome can be configured programatically with dconf. You can use dconf-editor to explore available options and than set some option declaratively with home-manager. I use ths method to configure wallpaper, night light and gnome-terminal, but there are much more options. My config for reference.

treesitter config file

Devops with Kubernetes, Go and Python here. Nix works great for this usecase, having all my tools defined in a single file is amazing. Although I mainly use Neovim, VSCode works fine as well. You can use such extension or simply enter a nix shell in the terminal and launch code . from there.
