Lazyman Supported LazyVim Neovim Configurations

The following are Lazyman supported LazyVim based Neovim configurations:

Install all Lazyman supported LazyVim configurations with the command lazyman -i lazyvim.

📦 What is LazyVim

LazyVim is one of the most popular Neovim “distributions” along with AstroNvim, LunarVim, and NvChad. These aren’t really distributions, they do not include Neovim, but that is what they are called. They are more accurately described as “Neovim configuration frameworks”. In most cases they provide some pre-configuration of plugins as well as an easy way to extend the base configuration.

A Neovim configuration framework can be of considerable assistance in managing the exploding Neovim plugin ecosystem, quickly and easily incorporating advanced features, and maintaining an up-to-date Neovim configuration.

Features that distinguish LazyVim include:

  • Very well maintained by the author of lazy.nvim
  • Nice architecture, it’s a plugin with which you can import preconfigured plugins
  • Good documentation

Read our overview and comparison of Neovim configuration distributions.

🌟 Overview

LazyVim is a Neovim setup powered by 💤 lazy.nvim to make it easy to customize and extend your config. Rather than having to choose between starting from scratch or using a pre-made distro, LazyVim offers the best of both worlds - the flexibility to tweak your config as needed, along with the convenience of a pre-configured setup.

📂 File Structure

The files under config will be automatically loaded at the appropriate time, so you don’t need to require those files manually. LazyVim comes with a set of default config files that will be loaded before your own. See here

You can add your custom plugin specs under lua/plugins/. All files there will be automatically loaded by lazy.nvim
