nvf is a highly modular, configurable, extensible and easy to use Neovim configuration
in Nix. Designed for flexibility and ease of use, nvf allows you to easily configure
your fully featured Neovim instance with a few lines of Nix.

## 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 for myself and any contributors.
## Get Started
[nvf manual]: https://notashelf.github.io/nvf/
[issue tracker]: https://github.com/NotAShelf/nvf/issues
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.
```bash
# Run the default package
nix run github:notashelf/nvf
```
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.
> [!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.
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
# Run the maximal package
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 quite large, and might take a while to build.
> To get a feel for the configuration, use the default `nix` configuration.
> Should you choose to try out the `maximal` configuration, using the binary
> cache as described in the manual is _strongly_ recommended.
If you are convinced, proceed to the next section to view the installation
instructions.
## Documentation
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.
See the rendered [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.
> [!TIP]
> While using NixOS or Home-Manager modules,
> `programs.nvf.enableManpages = true;` will allow you to view option
> documentation from the comfort of your terminal via `man 5 nvf`. The more you
> know.
Please create an issue on the [issue tracker] if you find the documentation
lacking or confusing. Any improvements to the documentation through pull
requests are also welcome, and appreciated.
## Help
You can create an issue on the [issue tracker] to ask questions or report bugs.
I am not yet on spaces like matrix or IRC, so please use the issue tracker for
now.
## Contributing
I am always looking for new ways to help improve this flake. If you would like
to contribute, please read the [contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) before
submitting a pull request. You can also create an issue on the [issue tracker]
before submitting a pull request if you would like to discuss a feature or bug
fix.
## FAQ

**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 [appropriate issue template] and I will consider a module
addition. As mentioned before, PRs adding new features are also welcome.
**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 and work in a separate branch until we make sure the new additions are
implemented in the most comfortable way possible for the end user. If you have
not noticed any activity on the main branch, consider taking a look at the
[list of branches] or the [list of open pull requests]. You may also consider
_testing_ those release branches to get access to new features ahead of time and
better prepare to breaking changes.

This configuration borrows from and is based on a few other configurations,
including:
- [@jordanisaacs's](https://github.com/jordanisaacs)
[neovim-flake](https://github.com/jordanisaacs/neovim-flake) that this flake
is originally based on.

choices.
- [@wiltaylor's](https://github.com/wiltaylor)
[neovim-flake](https://github.com/wiltaylor/neovim-flake) for plugin and
design ideas.
- [@gvolpe's](https://github.com/gvolpe)
[neovim-flake](https://github.com/gvolpe/neovim-flake) for plugin, design and
nix concepts.
I am grateful for their previous work and inspiration, and I wholeheartedly
