A neovim configuration that looks good and is fast (startuptime < 0.05s).

Tested on a pretty low end laptop
On Power                              : 0.015s - 0.025s
On Battery                            : 0.025s - 0.045s

Has something like 25 plugins and but is still fast becuase of holy lazy loading.

Installation

Warning: You may / may not get a bunch of errors during the first time you run this config
It's really easy , just a simple one liner with git!

~ $ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/chadcat5207/nvide ~/.config/nvim

Adding mason to path

Warning: This step is important for installing LSP Add this to your shell config

# this is for zsh
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/share/nvim/mason/bin

~ $ source ~/.zshrc

Custom Colorschemes

I know it sucks but you will have to do it manually

• Make a new color scheme /lua/themes/schemes/scheme.lua (copy the default colorscheme and change the colors)
• Make a colors file for it /colors/scheme.lua

-- /colors/scheme.lua
require("themes").setup({
  theme = "scheme",
  transparent_background = false
})

• Set the color scheme in lua/core/cfg.lua

M.colorscheme = 'pop'

Using Xresources

First use a xresources file

~ $ xrdb -merge ./path/to/xresources

M.colorscheme = 'xrdb'

Keep in mind that using xrdb increases startuptime by 100ms, I am looking to make this more faster

• Reload Neovim

Statusline Styles

Warning: This section contains the worst ever code written There are three prebuilt styles

• To change the style edit /lua/core/cfg.lua

M.statusstyle = 'minimal' -- minimal | fancy | monochrome

• Reload Neovim

Some Points To be Noted

• This is meant to be a simple base config which can be extended and customised very easily.
• THIS IS NOT A "DISTRO", just my personal dotfiles that i wanted to share with you guys!
• This is not for beginners, you need to have some experience wihth lua and neovim.
