How can I use people's configuration on github to my Neovim?

I love the looks of Neovim in Devsalife's videos. But It's pretty hard for me to follow him since he doesn't talk in most videos. And me trying to use neovim ( And I faced a lot of troubles) which makes me pretty hopeless on using neovim.

I practised neovim enough in VSCode. Now I want to switch to neovim. But it's configuration is too hard ( espcially with Lua ). So I just wanted the fastest way ( which is to copy people's config and use it immedietly, which is Devslife here)

Do you guys have any idea to do this on Windows ? I really appreciate it.

Unfortunately, there is no short path to get a beautiful Neovim UI. You should understand each line of your configurations.

Of course, someone can create a guide with a full setup, from how to install Neovim, and set up Plugins and dependencies but I haven't found anyone who does it yet. I'm trying to write a detail guide but it hasn't finished so I can't share it now.

However, I can tell you some steps to create a Neovim configuration yourself:

  • Install Neovim, of course
  • Install a packet manager (Packer, Vim plug) and learn how to use it
  • Theme (gruvbox, dracula): make your Neovim look good first
  • File explorer (nerdtree)
  • For coding
    • LSP (nvim-lspconfig): for autocompletion, diagnostic,..
    • Format code (neoformat): format your code based on the convention
  • Other
    • Vim features
      • Folding (foldmethod)
      • Spell checking
    • Icon for files (vim-devicons)
    • Find files (telescope.nvim)
    • Git manager (vim-fugitive)
    • Beautify the tabline (lualine.nvim)
    • Surround fast action (vim-surround)

If you have any specific problem while setting up your Neovim, Stackoverflow is available

Welcome in the Neovim world :)

To begin with a Neovim configuration in Lua, you can see some good repositories :

You can also use Neovim configuration bundles :
