Kickstart.fnl

Kickstart.fnl is an ASAP (as small as possible) configuration in Fennel language to get sensible out of the box experience with Neovim.

Prerequisites

• Neovim >=0.12.0
• C/C++ compiler (gcc or clang)
• git
• ripgrep
• tree-sitter-cli
• Nerd Font
• Fennel compiler
• Some patience and knowledge of the terminal :3

Installing Neovim

Gentoo

Unmask 9999 version in /etc/portage/package.accept-keywords/neovim:

app-editors/neovim **

Then you can emerge it.

NixOS

Use neovim-nightly-overlay with Home-manager or NixOS flake configuration.

Other distributions

You will probably need to fetch Neovim github repository and compile from source. Follow Neovim manual to learn more.

Installing Fennel compiler

Unless fennel is packaged for your distribution, follow official guide.

Installation

Check if ~/.config/nvim does exist and is empty. If you have any existing configuration, I advise you to do a backup. For example:

mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim-old

After checking nvim folder and doing a backup of your configuration, you can clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Yappaholic/kickstart.fnl ~/.config/nvim

Then, you can start with reading init.lua and init.fnl files to get more information.
