## 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
|
||||
|
||||
### 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
|
||||
installing it, you can run the following command
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nix run github:notashelf/nvf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will get you a feel for the base configuration and UI design.
|
||||
The flake exposes `#nix` as the default package, providing minimal
|
||||
language support and various utilities.You may also use `#nix`,
|
||||
`#tidal` or `#maximal` to get try out different configurations.
|
||||
This will get you a feel for the base configuration and UI design. Though, none
|
||||
of the configuration options are final as **nvf** is designed to be modular and
|
||||
configurable.
|
||||
|
||||
It is as simple as changing the target output to get a different
|
||||
configuration. For example, to get a configuration with `tidal` support, run:
|
||||
> [!TIP]
|
||||
> The flake exposes `#nix` as the default package, providing minimal language
|
||||
> support and various utilities. You may also use the `#nix` or `#maximal`
|
||||
> packages provided by the this flake to get try out different configurations.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
nix run github:notashelf/nvf#tidal
|
||||
It is as simple as changing the target output to get a different configuration.
|
||||
For example, to get a configuration with large language coverage, run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nix run github:notashelf/nvf#maximal
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Similar instructions will apply for `nix profile install`. However, you are
|
||||
recommended to instead use the module system as described in the manual.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> The `maximal` configuration is _massive_ and will take a while to build.
|
||||
> To get a feel for the configuration, use the default `nix` or `tidal`
|
||||
> configurations. Should you choose to try out the `maximal` configuration,
|
||||
> using the binary cache as described in the manual is _strongly_ recommended.
|
||||

## Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
See the [**nvf** Manual](https://notashelf.github.io/nvf/) for
|
||||
detailed installation guides, configurations, available options, release notes
|
||||
and more. Tips for installing userspace plugins is also contained in the
|
||||
documentation.
|
||||
[nvf manual]: https://notashelf.github.io/nvf/
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to dive right into trying **nvf** you can get a fully
|
||||
featured configuration with `nix` language support by running:
|
||||
The _recommended_ way of installing **nvf** is using either the NixOS or the
|
||||
Home-Manager module, though it is completely possible and no less supported to
|
||||
install **nvf** as a standalone package, or a flake output.
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
nix run github:notashelf/nvf#nix
|
||||
```
|
||||
See the [**nvf** manual] for detailed and up-to-date installation guides,
|
||||
configurations, available options, release notes and more. Tips for installing
|
||||
userspace plugins is also contained in the documentation.

## FAQ

[appropriate issue template]: https://github.com/NotAShelf/nvf/issues/new/choose
|
||||
|
||||
**Q**: What platforms are supported?
|
||||
<br/> **A**: nvf actively supports Linux and Darwin platforms using standalone
|

Nix, NixOS or Home-Manager. Please take a look at the
|
||||
|
||||
**Q**: Can you add _X_?
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
**A**: Maybe! It is not one of our goals to support each and every Neovim
|
||||
plugin, however, I am always open to new modules and plugin setup additions
|
||||
to **nvf**. Use the [appropritate issue template](issues/new/choose) and I will
|
||||
consider a module addition.

**Q**: A plugin I need is not available in **nvf**. What to do?
|
||||
<br/>
|

**A**: **nvf** exposes several APIs for you to be able to add your own
|
||||
plugin configurations! Please see the documentation on how you may do

this.

**Q**: Main branch is awfully silent, is the project dead?
|

<br/>
|

**A**: No! Sometimes we branch out (e.g. v0.6) to avoid breaking userspace
