So I like to tinker, a LOT! Lately I’ve been messing with my neovim setup. I have it pretty close to what I want, but I still want to experiment with other configs.
The learning NEVER stops!
This https://learnvimscriptthehardway.stevelosh.com/ was a wonderfully valuable resource, and I read page by page, learning the basics, etc.
Then I started messing around with pre-configured setups, I have tried:
After backing up my nvim folder, and before using any of those, I would read through their docs, make sure it wasn’t installing something crazy. And surely making sure I could cleanly remove it after I have used it. So far they’ve been pretty simple.
I have basically made a list of plugins they used. Install one, configure it, learn it, and if I like it - keep it. Else remove and on to the next one
And then I found this https://github.com/rockerBOO/awesome-neovim#preconfigured-configuration
Made me wonder, is there a reliable way of installing/testing/tinkering with these setups without always backing up my setup, installing, uninstalling, deleting, and reverting back to my backup?
Is there some script available to ease this process?!
I read somewhere I can start nvim with nvim -U path/to/newConfig
. Haven’t tried it yet though.
I came across a bunch of lua setups and while they are insanely powerful, I kinda want to keep with just “regular vim”? Not lua? If that makes sense. I want to “learn to walk before I run”, kinda thing, lol.
