NvChad

Lua

Very Very Useful lua plugins used in my config

Lspkind-nvim

This tiny plugin adds vscode-like pictograms to neovim built-in lsp completion items :

Nvim-tree.lua

fast file tree :

Telescope-nvim

A fuzzy file finder, picker, sorter, previewer and much more:

Indent-blankline.nvim

adds indentline :

Galaxyline

fastest statusline plugin I've used so far:

Nvim-bufferline.lua

As a top tabline like thing which lets me handle tabs and buffers like switching , sorting and closing them etc.

Nvim-web-devicons

Lua fork of vim devicons which lets me change icons of filetypes

Nvim-treesitter

Better syntax highlighting for programming languages ( my config just has html,css,js support for now ).

without / with Treesitter :

Credits

Elianiva helped me with neovim lua related issues many times, NvChad wouldnt exist without his help at all!

Features

  • File navigation with Nvimtree
  • Using plugins that are mouse friendly
  • Beautiful inbuilt themes
  • lazy loading 100% of plugins
  • managing tabs , buffers with bufferline
  • autosave
  • icons on nvimtree , telescope , bufferline/statusline and almost everywhere! with nvim-web-devicons
  • minimal status line ( galaxyline)
  • gitsigns (colored bars for git in my config)
  • nvim-lspconfig for nvim-lsp configuration
  • lspInstall for installing lsp servers easily
  • nvim-compe for autocompletion
  • lspkind to show pictograms on autocompletion items
  • telescope for file finding , picking , previewing (files and even images)

  • gitsigns for git diffs

Requirements

  • neovim 0.5
  • A terminal that supports nerdfonts
  • Set terminal's inner padding to 0.

Wiki

Bloat

  • To all those who think this is probably bloated , sure it is . Bloat means different to everyone . NvChad has like 30 ~ plugins but that doesnt mean those plugins are compromsing neovim's speed, snappiness or making it slow. No matter how many plugins I'd add on nvchad , it wouldnt compromise speed / snappiness / make it slow or whatever since it uses packer.nvim as plugin manager , packer.nvim lets you lazy load plugins i.e loading plugins on certain events , mappings , sequentially loading them etc so loading them only when needed , I have lazy loaded all the plugins so most plugins arent loaded by default , hence not affecting neovim's startup/launch time.

TODO

It would be nice if NvChad focuses on existing plugins and config before adding new things , some plugins like whichkey , telescope , treesitter still have basic configs! Also adding new features that'd make NvChad slow or its startuptime slow wouldnt be encouraged , if that feature's really needed then It'll be mentioned in the wiki with its config.

  • Debloat the config.
  • Make NvChad more faster (reduce startuptime too).
  • Add another section in the wiki explaining the whole config (must be helpful for newbies).
  • Add more themes.
  • Preview shortcuts in the form of a pretty cheatsheet.
  • Add a user config so it doesnt get hard to update :c

Contribute

  • PR's are always welcomed however NvChad aims to be less bloated. So PR's regarding existing plugin's enhancement and creating new features with existing plugins itself ( without adding a new plugin), bug fixes and corrections are more encouraged.
  • PR's regarding adding new plugins and their configs must be given some thought since NvChad is meant to be used as a "base" neovim config so it will have only a set of important plugins. So adding more and more opiniated plugins, making NvChad's config large unnecessarily + slow wont help!.
  • NvChad wont keep adding more and more features (like adding new plugins most likely) as requested if they feel unneeded and arent usable by the majority, no spoonfeeding!! If you think the plugin you want to be added is very useful and many NvChaders would find it useful, then such feature's PR is welcomed!
  • But adding specific features like adding config for https://github.com/wakatime/vim-wakatime etc will be added in this https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad/wiki/Chad-user-configs. This lets the user select the things only they want ( adding configs from extra configs ) .

Warning

I get hearings from some plugin devs that nvchad users bring issues on discourse/reddit/matrix/gh repos etc. Please dont do that :/ . Bring NvChad related issues here ONLY and dont ever bother plugin devs, THIS IS A CLEAR WARNING! 😠
