Clojure development and more with Neovim 0.10.x and AstroNvim version 4

Practicalli Neovim describes the Clojure REPL workflow, rich Git and GitHub clients and easy management of plugins and tools using this configuration.

• Kitty Terminal
• Neovim 0.10.x (0.9.x will also work)
• Practicalli Neovim Configuration details install AstroNvim and Practicalli Astro Config
• Clojure install

Clone the Practicalli Astro repository (optionally creating a fork first should customisation be required)

git clone [email protected]:practicalli/astro $HOME/.config/nvim

Run nvim command and wait for all plugins to update

nvim

Clone to $HOME/.config/astronvim if there is an existing neovim configuration and use the NVIM_APPNAME=astronvim nvim command to start Neovim with AstroNvim configuration

Create a shell alias to run the new configuration, e.g. in .bashrc or .zshrc (or a shell-aliases file that each shell rc file sources)

alias astro="NVIM_APPNAME=astro nvim"

Load the alias into the current shell (or open a new shell)

source shell-aliases

Run astro and wait for the plugins to update

astro

The configuration is based on the AstroNvim template config. Changes to existing file have been kept to a minimum, except for lua/community.lua which has additional plugins from the AstroNvim Community repository.

lua/plugins/example-config.lua shows how to modify and extend the AstroNvim configuration. This config is not loaded by defult.

Create your own lua/plugins/user-name.lua file to:

• override default plugin configuration
• add new plugins (or create a new file for a plugin to make them easier to be optional) or by customising the lua/plugins/user.lua file.

lua/plugins/user-practicalli.lua is an example of a user configuration that adds plugins and overrides plugin options.

Lua files in the lua/plugins directory are loaded in alphabetical order

All sponsorship funds are used to support the continued development of Practicalli series of books and videos, although most work is done at personal cost and time.
