nvim-lazyman VS bob

I made Github Pages from some of my repositories. It's a nice feature, thanks!

$NVIM_APPNAME might help if the distro's file structure doesn't work with your git model (like, AstroNvim wants you to use a sub-theme-thing for your personal config customizations, and this might not be graceful to implement as just a separate git branch). https://gist.github.com/elijahmanor/b279553c0132bfad7eae23e34ceb593b has some shell functions using nvim_appname for easily switching between different config repos and even https://github.com/doctorfree/nvim-lazyman for trying out different distros.

I haven't posted much about lazyman because I'm busy working on it and it is changing rapidly. Also, as you can see, a lot of my time is spent dreaming up Neovim configuration management fantasies.

There are many excellent distributions, personal configurations, and custom configurations to study. I wrote a Neovim configuration manager to make it easy for me to install, initialize, and explore multiple Neovim configurations. Most of the popular Neovim distributions and configurations are supported in this tool.

I'm also a fan of these preconfigured Neovim configurations. I've learned a lot by exploring many of them. To help me install and initialize multiple Neovim configurations I wrote Lazyman, a Neovim configuration manager. Currently Lazyman supports over 40 Neovim configurations.

This one has a good collection of configs, from simple to complicated: doctorfree/nvim-lazyman

See https://github.com/doctorfree/nvim-lazyman for info on Lazyman.

Currently lazyman supports Neovim configurations using the Lazy, Packer, and vim-plug plugin managers. Not all Neovim configurations install and initialize cleanly. Some have hard-coded paths assuming ~/.config/nvim as the configuration location. Others do not initialize cleanly from the command line (nvim --headless ...). However, many configurations not supported out-of-the-box by lazyman can be installed and initialized. If you find an interesting configuration that works well with Lazyman or if your favorite config does not initialize cleanly with Lazyman then open an issue at https://github.com/doctorfree/nvim-lazyman/issues

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.

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)

Auto-install of Bob Neovim version manager (optional)

I personally use bob, ($ cargo install bob-nvim), and it's been great for ease of version management, including nightly

Honest just use bob on non-bleeding edge distro

There's already bob (Version manager for Neovim)

I use on all platforms: https://github.com/MordechaiHadad/bob

current stable is 0.8.3 maybe try the unstable ppa or appimage or bob.nvim

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
