I’ve put together a basic Neovim configuration that relies entirely on Neovim’s native features. This setup avoids third‑party plugins, making it lightweight, fast, and easy to understand — perfect if you’re just starting out or want a minimal environment. Link to the GitHub repository.
You can find the configuration on my GitHub repository. To get started, simply clone it to your local machine.
Installation Instructions
- Open your terminal.
- Navigate to your Neovim configuration directory:
cd ~/.config - Clone the repository:
git clone git@github.com:DarrylDias/basic-nvim.git nvim
- Launch Neovim
nvim
- Enjoy your clean, plugin‑free Neovim setup.
Why This Config?
- Lightweight: No external dependencies.
- Educational: Helps you learn Neovim’s built‑in features.
- Stable: Fewer moving parts means fewer breakages.
