  • kickstart.nvim

    A launch point for your personal nvim configuration

  • I read through all the other comments and I agree 100%: - Chris@machine neovim from scratch Very easy to follow. - the Primeagan 0 to LSP : Neovim RC From Scratch Tough to follow - be ready to pause/resume/pause/resume a dozen times. - kickstart.nvim Super small. Minimal.

  • LunarVim

    🌙 LunarVim is an IDE layer for Neovim. Completely free and community driven.

  • As a newbie myself, I started with a batteries included option, that being NvChad since I needed it at the time and also to get the hang off what I can do with Neovim, then when the configuring got too massive, i decided to make my own config, albeit a bloated and still everchanging one but I'm very comfortable with it as I made it myself, mostly from most of the major configs, and even now as I go on, I'm learning new things from vim API and Lua as a bonus, from my config and its bugs.. It is quite fun.. I setup my config to use a custom runtime, like/from Lunarvim, so that if I mess up anything, i still have "normal" Neovim(which is still NvChad) to work with incase of emergencies..

  • InfluxDB

  • Neovim-from-scratch

    📚 A Neovim config designed from scratch to be understandable

  • I used LunarVim, Neovim from Scratch, and Effective Neovim: Instant IDE. I learned from all of them. I also found that I can easily spend all of my disposable time "optimizing" Neovim on several systems :-) Definitely a fun and highly effective text editor with a really supportive community ...

  • web-dev.nvim

    Small Neovim configuration written in Lua that is specifically designed for web development.

  • awesome-neovim

    Collections of awesome neovim plugins.

  • I've used kickstart.nvim (mentioned elsewhere in this thread) and browsed the awesome-neovim gallery. I haven't really created my own config yet, but kickstart.nvim has an entrypoint to add your own customizations which I've used. I'll probably build a config from scratch when I get more opinionated about which tools I prefer.

  • NvChad

    Blazing fast Neovim config providing solid defaults and a beautiful UI, enhancing your neovim experience.

  • As a newbie myself, I started with a batteries included option, that being NvChad since I needed it at the time and also to get the hang off what I can do with Neovim, then when the configuring got too massive, i decided to make my own config, albeit a bloated and still everchanging one but I'm very comfortable with it as I made it myself, mostly from most of the major configs, and even now as I go on, I'm learning new things from vim API and Lua as a bonus, from my config and its bugs..
