## Very useful plugins used ### Nvim-tree.lua Fast file tree:
### Telescope-nvim A fuzzy file finder, picker, sorter, previewer and much more:

### Indent-blankline.nvim Adds indentline:
### Feline.nvim Highly configurable statusline plugin:

### Nvim-bufferline.lua Better tab implementation:
### Nvim-web-devicons Lua fork of Vim Devicons which offers more file icon customisability:
### Nvim-treesitter Better syntax highlighting for programming languages (NvChad by default comes with Lua/bash treesitter parsers). Without/with Treesitter:
## Credits - [Elianiva](https://github.com/elianiva) helped me with NeoVim Lua related issues many times, NvChad wouldnt exist without his help at all. - @lorvethe for making the beautiful NvChad logo. ## Features - Many beautiful themes to choose from. - Distraction free modes. - Fast plugin loading. - Smooth scrolling. - Autosaving. - File navigation with [nvim-tree.lua](https://github.com/kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua). - Managing tabs, buffers with [bufferline.nvim](https://github.com/akinsho/bufferline.nvim). - Beautiful and configurable icons with [nvim-web-devicons](https://github.com/kyazdani42/nvim-web-devicons). - Pretty and functional statusline with [feline.nvim](https://github.com/Famiu/feline.nvim). - Git diffs and more with [gitsigns.nvim](https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim) . - NeoVim Lisp configuration with [nvim-lspconfig](https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig). - Easy Lisp server installation with [nvim-lspinstall](https://github.com/kabouzeid/nvim-lspinstall). - Autocompletion with [nvim-cmp](https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp). - File searching, previewing image and text files and more with [telescope.nvim](https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim). - Syntax highlighting with [nvim-treesitter](https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter). - Autoclosing braces and html tags with [nvim-autopairs](https://github.com/windwp/nvim-autopairs). - Formatting code with [neoformat](https://github.com/sbdchd/neoformat). - Indentlines with [indent-blankline.nvim](https://github.com/lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim). - Useful snippets with [LuaSnip](https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip). ## Bloat To everyone who thinks that NvChad is bloat: Bloat means different things to everyone. NvChad has 38 plugins installed by default yet it is still very fast because it uses Packer plugin maanager. Packer.nvim allows you lets you lazy load plugins, meaning they get loaded only when absoloutely required. Furthermore, you can disable plugins you don't use in `chardrc.lua`. # TODO NvChad is focusing more on improving its already existing plugins and features instead of adding more plugins. Things you can do to help currently are: - Improving base plugins configurations - Debloating the config. - Adding more themes. ## Try NvChad in a Docker container This will leave your current Neovim configuration untouched. Once you exit Neovim, the image is deleted. ```zsh docker run -w /root -it --rm alpine:edge sh -uelic ' apk add git nodejs neovim ripgrep alpine-sdk --update git clone https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad ~/.config/nvim nvim -c "autocmd User PackerComplete quitall" -c "PackerSync" nvim ' ``` ## Chadributors
## Warning If you have an issue with a plugin in NvChad, first you should report it to NvChad to see if it's an issue with it. ## :gift_heart: Support If you want to donate, I (siduck76) would direct you to one of the donation links below, since NvChad wouldn't have been able without all of its great contributors and plugin developers, I don't feel comfortable taking donations for myself, so donate to one of these charities instead: - https://www.gofundme.com/f/WeCareAboutSyria - https://www.gofundme.com/f/Burundi-Nutrition - https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/feedingyemen - https://www.gofundme.com/f/6p8ea-give-ghanaian-orphans-the-gift-of-a-ride-to-school
