How do you handle project specific configuration?

• direnv.vim

  3 161 4.2 Vim Script

  vim plugin for direnv support

  

I like direnv since sometime I want custom configurations for my shell as well and then the direnv vim plugin for actual vim configuration.

• neovim

  1,384 76,465 10.0 Vim Script

  Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  

As the number of projects I work on with neovim has grown in number and diversity, I have felt the need for project specific configuration more and more. Based on this issue and this issue it seems like there are or were plans/ideas to add some project management and configuration features to neovim core.

• nvim-config-local

  6 131 5.0 Lua

  Secure load local config files for neovim

I just use nvim-config-local, which is basically just souped up :h 'exrc'. And then from there I typically set makeprg and a custom "run" command if I want, along with any other settings I might want in the project. I tried using some custom runner type plugins in the past but I think this method has provided me with the most flexibility, and I don't have to learn anything new because it's just the same as what i do in my init.lua.

• exrc.vim

  9 19 1.8 Vim Script

  Local vimrc files

exrc can enable untrusted arbitrary execution. See https://github.com/ii14/exrc.vim that tries to mitigate this.

• persistence.nvim

  8 531 5.8 Lua

  💾 Simple session management for Neovim

I've been using vim sessions for a while now. Sessions can have their own configuration files and that's what I use for projects. For this to be actually convenient you'll need plugin like persistence.nvim to handle the sessions themselves (or make your own workflow).

I've had a requirement similar to yours and I have developed (well...still developing...) a plugin which fits my use cases: https://github.com/Dax89/IDE.nvim

https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-local-vimrc does the job just fine.

At this point its fair to admit that this is not what im doing, i dont need that, i m just giving my subjective opinions. Its just .idea and .vscode in each repo and i feel like adding another plugin dependency just so you can put another one there isnt something i wanna do but i m definitelly a minority, looks like it

• confiture.nvim

  5 16 4.7 Lua

  A neovim lua plugin to save and launch project specific commands.

I'm mostly fine with language specific configuration, which I find not too hard to manage in my init.vim, but I rely a lot on project specific commands for building and running projects, so I'll do a shameless plug for my plugin, confiture.nvim, which aims to provide a simple solution for this.
