dotfiles VS bob

i find event = { 'BufReadPre', 'BufNewFile' } is enough

i use a bare git repo that manages files in my $HOME, (two actually, one for both windows and Linux and one just for windows). within my dotfiles i have a script (for only windows right now) that installs everything and sets up ssh for a new machine.

i version both in the same repo. here: https://github.com/pynappo/dotfiles/tree/main/.config/nvim

you can see a more explicit setup in my config without the opts stuff and my server configs here

here was an old version of my dotfiles that did that with lazy

your original code has the correct idea if you wanted to load a script with require() (and it's what i did back when i used packer.nvim), but you're misunderstanding what require("lazy").setup("plugins") does. check the readme again.

you're supposed to have a /lua/plugins/ folder with lua files with your lua specs. like I have my lazy.nvim get it's plugin specs from the /lua/pynappo/plugins folder

anyways my config isn't great but I do use it on windows

basically I have a file that stores all my keymaps grouped into different tables, and I have a tiny helper function that can either set all of those keymaps immediately or convert them into lazy's keys format to be lazy loaded, and then I just refer to the file every time I want to setup keymaps

I do group LSP + neodev + mason into a group of plugins and have a single config for all of them but that's for a combination of readability and because they need to be set up in some order.

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
