# Neovim Configuration Flake
This is the Neovim configuration for all my NixOS and Nix enabled systems (such as with nix-darwin on macOS).
It aims to be minimal and utilitarian; it forgoes blingful features like status lines, sidebars, or fancy UI enhancements
It aims to be minimal and utilitarian; it forgoes many blingful features like status lines, sidebars, or fancy UI enhancements
in favor of native (neo)Vim, while still having everything useful you'd expect, like LSPs, file explorer (`yazi`), completions,
advanced language tools, and QoL enhancements.
It uses the [Nixvim](https://nix-community.github.io/nixvim/) project under the hood to declaratively
configure Neovim and its plugins, and installs some LSPs and other tools needed by it (like `yazi`, `fd`, etc).
It simply outputs a package, called `nvim`. It can be called just like the regular `nvim` package, except it bundles
all of my custom configuration and their dependencies with the power of Nix.
You can try it, remotely, in one line:
```sh
nix run 'github:youwen5/neovim-flake'
```
It simply outputs a package which provides the binary `nvim`. It can be called just like the regular `nvim` binary, except it bundles
all of my custom configuration and their dependencies with the power of Nix. An entirely self-contained, reproducible, purely functional text editor. Amazing.
Feel free to fork or copy the config to use yourself. It's free in the [public domain](./LICENSE).

> ![WARNING]
> This package will add the symlinks `vim -> nvim` and `vi -> nvim` so it will conflict with
