My Neovim configuration

This is the result of a complete rebuild of my Neovim configuration from the ground up, back in August 2025. This configuration is built around the Lazy.nvim plugin manager.

• nvim 0.12.2+
• A compiler + dev headers/libraries for compiling Treesitter parser binaries, for example:
  • apt install build-essential on Ubuntu
  • MSVC on Windows
• tree-sitter-cli, which can be installed via one of the following:
  • brew install tree-sitter-cli
  • cargo binstall tree-sitter-cli (per the official docs)

Linux/macOS

mkdir -p ~/.config
git clone https://www.github.com/wilkystyle/nvim ~/.config/nvim

Windows (PowerShell):

git clone https://www.github.com/wilkystyle/nvim $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim

Windows (Command Prompt/cmd.exe):

git clone https://www.github.com/wilkystyle/nvim %LOCALAPPDATA%\nvim

On first launch, the Lazy.nvim package manager will install plugins and compile Treesitter parsers.

Optional: Install LSP servers with Mason

1. Run :Mason
2. Choose LSP servers to install

That's all you need to do. This configuration uses mason-lspconfig, which will automatically enable any installed LSP servers.

If you just want to try this configuration temporarily without any permanent changes to your existing config:

mkdir ~/.config
git clone https://www.github.com/wilkystyle/nvim ~/.config/nvim-testdrive

# NVIM_APPNAME assumes the supplied directory exists in ~/.config/
NVIM_APPNAME=nvim-testdrive nvim
