ThePrimeagen's init.lua

Getting Started

Install the following:

• ripgrep (It's in the Debian repos)

  sudo apt install ripgrep

• Use the latest version of Zsh <-- Link
• You will need a recent version of NeoVim too, the ones in the apt repos are too old.
• The most compatable version of NeoVim for this config, is NVIM v0.9.4
• Use these commands to install it, and u must have Packer installed alongside this init.lua repo too

- Then you can git clone this repo in your home directory, and run the dev bash script to clean out your current nvim files

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# To start with a clean slate, you will need to delete and remove your current/previous neovim files and dirs.
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim
ln -s $(pwd) ~/.config/nvim

- Then install NVIM v0.9.4, and Packer

wget https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/download/stable/nvim.appimage
chmod +x nvim.appimage
sudo mv nvim.appimage /usr/local/bin/nvim

# git clone packer
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\\n ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

• Open the fuzzy finder from within a neovim file (accessed via netrw): Ctrl + p
• Scroll up and down within the fuzzy finder using up and down arrow keys and typing the file name
• Open up the file tree without closing the file you are in. use the cmd :Vex vertical explore. (split window).
