Guides to migrate to init.lua -

• https://github.com/nanotee/nvim-lua-guide

• https://alpha2phi.medium.com/neovim-init-lua-e80f4f136030

• https://oroques.dev/notes/neovim-init/

• https://icyphox.sh/blog/nvim-lua/

Clone my setup -

• Install neovim-nightly , also use a nerdfont on your terminal.
• Install packer.nvim

git clone https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim\
 ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim

• Open neovim and install all plugins , :PackerInstall and :TSUpdate
• Install language servers and prettier ( for autocompletion etc and code formatting , nodejs should be installed too!)
• copy all config files in from this repo except ( plugin folder )

sudo npm install -g vscode-html-languageserver-bin typescript typescript-language-server  vscode-css-languageserver-bin prettier

To setup any language server , follow this guide https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig/blob/master/CONFIG.md and search up the needed LSP. For example if I needed clangd's lsp server :

I'd install it first and add its setup line ( require'lspconfig'.clangd.setup{} ) in /lua/nvim-lspconfig/lua.lua file . I will organise the config slowly and soon add a list of important mappings used in my config , on this readme so it might get easy for some :)

Troubleshooting -

if you get any errors with packer.nvim , then remove the ~/.config/nvim/plugin/packer_nvim.vim file since it just has file paths for my system and re-install packer.nvim
