My neovim config

Automatically installs LazyVim, and any plugins I need before configuring them.

Install:

curl -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tal-zvon/vimrc/master/install.sh | sudo bash -s --

Install without Neovim:

If you've already installed neovim manually (ex from tar.gz if your distro's package manager has a version that's too old), you can run this instead:

curl -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tal-zvon/vimrc/master/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- --skip-neovim

Install local plugins:

If you want to install plugins locally that you don't want to commit to the git repo, you can add spec files to lua/local_plugins/. They look and work exactly the same as the specs in lua/plugins/, but are ignored by .gitignore. That's the only difference.

You'll also need to run:

git update-index --skip-worktree lazy-lock.json

So when your lock file changes, your auto-updater doesn't freak out that your directory is dirty

Code organization:

• lua/config/ contains core editor configuration modules.
• lua/startup_scripts/ contains startup-time scripts/services.
• lua/plugins/ contains plugin spec files.
• lua/plugins/utils/ contains larger helper functions used by plugin specs.

Install Tree-sitter on older Linux Servers:

If Mason fails to install Tree-sitter on an older server, like Rocky Linux, because your GLIBC is too old, you can install it manually:

cargo install tree-sitter-cli

Cargo will compile it for your system. Mason will automatically detect it, and won't try to install it anymore.

Updates:

Auto updates are handled by a custom script: update_git_repo.lua. It runs at most once per hour, on vim startup. To see debug messages from it, run:

NVIM_VIMRC_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBUG=1 nvim

OR

:lua vim.g.vimrc_auto_update_debug = true
:lua require("startup_scripts.update_git_repo").check_for_updates()

To force updates without waiting an hour, delete its state file:

rm -f ~/.local/state/nvim/vimrc_auto_update.json

Then run neovim again
