nvdots

neovim distro for nix users using nix-wrapper-modules. read the docs to learn more. please note that the docs are still a WIP and i'm yet to document all the plugins/specs, keybindings, autocommands and such.

try it

first install Nix and then run the following command to temporarily try out nvdots. it looks complex because the two lines after nix run is making sure that cachix is being used or else you'd have to compile neovim and it's plugins and all from source which would take a while. binary caches are far more faster and convenient.

nix run github:Voxi0/nvdots \
    --extra-trusted-public-keys nix-community.cachix.org-1:mB9FSh9qf2dCimDSUo8Zy7bkq5CX+/rkCWyvRCYg3Fs \
    --extra-substituters https://nix-community.cachix.org

i will soon find a way to allow non-nix users to use nvdots even though nvdots is primarily meant for nix users :)

acknowledgements

• nix-wrapper-modules - For making it nice and easy to wrap Neovim with plugins and Lua configuration duh. this way I can keep nix and neovim stuff separate so I have the ability to make my configuration cross-platform even WITHOUT nix sooner or later in the future. but i mean right now, all of this is still cross-platform as long as you have nix installed of course.
• nvim-lite - For showing how to do a whole lot of things natively without any plugins. I discovered a bunch of useful options and handy autocommands thanks to this.
