My Neovim Repo

This setup will help you get a Neovim setup for coding, DevOps and text editing

Introduction

This setup will help you get going with Neovim, with a lot of useful plugins and LSP's that makes coding and text editing efficient and a lot of fun. I highly recommend watching this Youtube content from Josean Martinez before continuing. I got started using his setup, and added my own stuff on top op that.

Get my setup

First, get my public dotfiles repo:

mkdir -p ~/repos/github.com/yourname/
cd ~/repos/github.com/yourname/
git clone https://github.com/Jihillestad/dotfiles-public.git
cd ~/repos/github.com/yourname/dotfiles-public
rm -rf ./.git

Install Neovim. I am a MacOS user, so I'll use homebrew:

brew install neovim
brew install neovim-remote
brew install ripgrep
brew install fzf
brew install wget
brew install node
brew install treesitter
brew install python

Install MacTeX - A LaTeX compiler for MacOS
```
brew install mactex
```
Install and configure Skim, a pdf reader that integrates well with neovim and LaTeX compilers:
1. Download and install Skim from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/skim-app/files/Skim/Skim-1.7.4/Skim-1.7.4.dmg/download
2. Go to Skim -> Settings - Sync
3. Under PDF-TeX Sync Support -> Preset: Custom
4. Under PDF-TeX Sync Support -> Command: nvim
5. Under PDF-TeX Sync Support -> Arguments: --headless -c "VimtexInverseSearch %line '%file'"

Make your own local git repo

git init
git add -A
git commit -m "initial commit"

Symlink the neovim config:

ln -s ~/repos/github.com/yourname/dotfiles-public/nvim ~/.config/nvim

Start Neovim using this command:
```
nvim
```
You might have to restart Neovim a few times for Lazy.nvim to finish installing everything and their dependencies.

Summary

This will get you started. I cannot guarantee that it works on your system. Keymaps could make some issues, these you have to figure out. Happy learning!
