For a complete beginner to both programming and Vim, how/where should I create a project?

• nerdtree

  77 19,262 7.2 Vim Script

  A tree explorer plugin for vim.

  

As others have mentioned, you can use netrw or NerdTree. You set it (and other plugins) through your .vimrc which is probably at ~/.vimrc. Also take a look at NeoVim and try using it instead of the legacy one. It has concurrency and better support for plugins.

• vim-rooter

  24 1,188 3.6 Vim Script

  Changes Vim working directory to project root.

Things you can definitely check out are git (it's like the most important tool of a developer if you ask me) and once you start using git, there is a nice plugin for vim called "vim-rooter": https://github.com/airblade/vim-rooter Check it out.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

• tmuxp

  23 3,947 9.7 Python

  🖥️ Session manager for tmux, build on libtmux.

  

I use tmux and tmuxp for this (https://github.com/tmux-python/tmuxp). It allows me to configure a project using yaml with a bunch of windows and panes and run commands (open up vim, set a start directory, run a service etc). I've setup an alias so I can just run mux and a new tmux session will open setup exactly how I have configured it.
