nerdtree-git-plugin VS nvim-dap

I personally use nerdtree. Add nerdtree-git-plugin too, that's nice when looking at your project (for files, use vim-gitgutter).

git-nerdtree

nerdtree-git-plugin - a plugin to show git status in nerdtree

plugins=( "$HOME/.vim/pack/vendor/start/vim-airline" "https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline.git" "$HOME/.vim/pack/vendor/start/nerdtree" "https://github.com/preservim/nerdtree.git" "$HOME/.vim/pack/vendor/start/nerdtree-git-plugin" "https://github.com/Xuyuanp/nerdtree-git-plugin.git" "$HOME/.vim/pack/packages/start/fzf" "https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.git" "$HOME/.vim/pack/packages/start/fzf.vim" "https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim.git" "$HOME/.vim/pack/tpope/start/fugitive" "https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git/" "$HOME/.vim/pack/vendor/start/vim-gitgutter" "https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter.git/" ) echo "\n >>> START plugins installation " for i in ${!plugins[@]}; do if (( i % 2 == 0 )) then # echo $i folder="${plugins[$i]}" url="${plugins[$i+1]}" if [ ! -d "$folder" ] ; then git clone "$url" "$folder" else git -C $folder pull fi fi vim -u NONE -c "helptags $folder/doc" -c q done echo " >>> END plugins installation "

There are DAP extensions for both Vim (e.g. https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector) and NeoVim (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap). I can't speak as to the experience in detail (I think I briefly played with nvim-dap a year or two ago), but I suspect that for most it will be good enough.

Also, you can set up debugger integration with https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap .

You could use nvim-dap with nvim-dap-python.

I'd suggest starting with a Neovim distro that makes things work for you and as you get familiar you can transition to a more custom configuration as you see fit. If you want to do it by yourself then the most popular plugin for debugging in Neovim is nvim-dap and there is also an extension for Python to give you a more ready to go config instead of doing it yourself. You should read the docs of those 2 to see how you should customize accordingly your configuration.

(neovim only) nvim-dap

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text should be able to do it, I think?

If you want to debug types in TypeScript, you could use marilari88/twoslash-queries.nvim. If you would like to debug TypeScript/JavaScript code, then you need mfussenegger/nvim-dap, you could read this article: Debugging using DAP to understand how to set up it.
