## Features
- **Reproducible**: Your configuration will behave the same anywhere. No
surprises, promise!
- **Portable**: nvf depends _solely_ on your Nix store, and nothing else. No
more global binaries! Works on all platforms, without hassle.
- **Customizable**: There are _almost no defaults_ to annoy you. nvf is fully
customizable through the Nix module system.
- **Well-documented**: Documentation is priority. You will never face
undocumented, obscure behaviour.
- **Idiomatic**: nvf does things _the right way_. The codebase is, and will,
remain maintainable.
## Get Started ## Get Started
### Using `nix` CLI If you are not sold on the concepts of **nvf**, and would like to try out the
default configuration before even _thinking about_ installing it, you may run
the following in order to take **nvf** out for a spin.
If you would like to try out the configuration before even thinking about ```bash
installing it, you can run the following command
```console
nix run github:notashelf/nvf nix run github:notashelf/nvf
``` ```

If you want to dive right into trying **nvf** you can get a fully The _recommended_ way of installing **nvf** is using either the NixOS or the
featured configuration with `nix` language support by running: Home-Manager module, though it is completely possible and no less supported to
install **nvf** as a standalone package, or a flake output.
