nvim-lazyman VS dot

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

I add more stuff on top of LazyVim. See my dots here https://github.com/folke/dot/tree/master/nvim

There's some customizations I did with keyd that could be useful for others. See here

I found myself with the same problem and found a solution in LazyVim's maintainer's dotfiles. You have to configure `tsserver` like this, so it doesn't spawn multiple instances. Take a look [here](https://github.com/folke/dot/commit/aef729a076970e770ed84d817419551e82951d2c) to include it in your own configuration.

For anyone interested, I've added preliminary tailwindcss support in my dots here

Take a peek a the dotfiles of the dev who made lazy.nvim folke's dotfiles

You can see here how I added copilot to my own config (with LazyVim)

-- @ref https://github.com/folke/dot/blob/master/config/nvim/lua/util/status.lua (modified) local M = {} _G.Status = M ---@return {name:string, text:string, texthl:string}[] function M.get_signs() local buf = vim.api.nvim_win_get_buf(vim.g.statusline_winid) return vim.tbl_map(function(sign) return vim.fn.sign_getdefined(sign.name)[1] end, vim.fn.sign_getplaced(buf, { group = "*", lnum = vim.v.lnum })[1].signs) end function M.column() local diagnostic_sign, git_sign for _, s in ipairs(M.get_signs()) do if s.name:find("GitSign") then git_sign = s elseif s.name:find("Diagnostic") then diagnostic_sign = s end end local nu = " " local number = vim.api.nvim_win_get_option(vim.g.statusline_winid, "number") if number and vim.wo.relativenumber and vim.v.virtnum == 0 then nu = vim.v.relnum == 0 and vim.v.lnum or vim.v.relnum end local git_column = git_sign and ("%#" .. git_sign.texthl .. "#" .. git_sign.text .. "%*") or " " -- two spaces necessary to avoid jumping local diagnostic_column = diagnostic_sign and ("%#" .. diagnostic_sign.texthl .. "#" .. diagnostic_sign.text ..

I spent two weekends searching online repos about how to migrate from packer.nvim to lazy.nvim, and finally, I'm done! Big thanks to folke/lazy.nvim, folke/dot, and LazyVim!

I’m very happy with the new plugin manager lazy.nvim: 1. Powerful control over lazy loading plugins. Example: lazy load when command is run, or on certain events in neovim 2. I like how I’m able to layout the config. Each plugin I have has their own lua file for config (example from someone else dotfiles)
