sudo pacman -S --needed neovim unzip luarocks xclip wl-clipboard

Install NvChad config from https://nvchad.com/docs/quickstart/install

git clone https://github.com/NvChad/starter ~/.config/nvim && nvim

Or this already configured version

git clone https://github.com/ProgrammingRainbow/NvChad-2.5 ~/.config/nvim && nvim

You can safely remove the .git and image files.

rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/.git
rm ~/.config/nvim/*.png

Edit the file ~/.config/nvim/lua/options.lua to change tabs from 2 to 4 spaces.
Original config is here https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad/blob/v2.5/lua/nvchad/options.lua

-- local o = vim.o

To this.

local o = vim.o

-- Indenting
o.shiftwidth = 4
o.tabstop = 4
o.softtabstop = 4

Edit ~/.config/nvim/.stylua.toml to change indent width to 4 and to use parentheses.

column_width = 120
line_endings = "Unix"
indent_type = "Spaces"
indent_width = 4
quote_style = "AutoPreferDouble"
# call_parentheses = "None"

Setup Format and Style with Conform.

Edit ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua to load module on save.

    {
        "stevearc/conform.nvim",
        event = "BufWritePre",
        config = function()
            require("configs.conform")
        end,
    },

Edit ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/conform.lua to enable format_on_save.

local options = {
    formatters_by_ft = {
        lua = { "stylua" },
    },

    format_on_save = {
        -- These options will be passed to conform.format()
        timeout_ms = 500,
        lsp_fallback = true,
    },
}

require("conform").setup(options)

Setup Treesitter

https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter
Added to the Top of ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua.

Setup LSPConfig.

https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig
Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua.
Under Treesitter add an lspconfig entry.

    {
        "neovim/nvim-lspconfig",
        event = { "BufReadPre", "BufNewFile" },
        config = function()
            require("nvchad.configs.lspconfig").defaults()
            require("configs.lspconfig")
        end,
    },

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/lspconfig.lua.
We will be adding a table that has a list of all servers configured.
This will be used later in the mason-lspconfig to automate there installation.
Then we will have a simple default_servers table for looping and setting up default configs.
Using the NvChad default lua_ls found
here https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad/blob/v2.5/lua/nvchad/configs/lspconfig.lua
we will add love2d support "${3rd}/love2d/library", but also disable linting diagnostics.

local on_attach = require("nvchad.configs.lspconfig").on_attach
local on_init = require("nvchad.configs.lspconfig").on_init
local capabilities = require("nvchad.configs.lspconfig").capabilities

local lspconfig = require("lspconfig")

-- list of all servers configured.
lspconfig.servers = {
    "lua_ls",
}

-- list of servers configured with default config.
local default_servers = {}

-- lsps with default config
for _, lsp in ipairs(default_servers) do
    lspconfig[lsp].setup({
        on_attach = on_attach,
        on_init = on_init,
        capabilities = capabilities,
    })
end

lspconfig.lua_ls.setup({
    on_attach = on_attach,
    on_init = on_init,
    capabilities = capabilities,

    settings = {
        Lua = {
            diagnostics = {
                enable = false, -- Disable all diagnostics from lua_ls
                -- globals = { "vim" },
            },
            workspace = {
                library = {
                    vim.fn.expand("$VIMRUNTIME/lua"),
                    vim.fn.expand("$VIMRUNTIME/lua/vim/lsp"),
                    vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/ui/nvchad_types",
                    vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim/lua/lazy",
                    "${3rd}/love2d/library",
                },
                maxPreload = 100000,
                preloadFileSize = 10000,
            },
        },
    },
})

Setting up Linting.

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint
Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua.
Between LSPConfig and Confom add an entry for Linting.

    {
        "mfussenegger/nvim-lint",
        event = { "BufReadPre", "BufNewFile" },
        config = function()
            require("configs.lint")
        end,
    },

Create file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/lint.lua.
lint.linters_by_ft is a key, value table for all linters to be configured.
lint.linters.laucheck.args = { Will over write the arguments table for luacheck.
To get the default args before editing use this command
:lua print(vim.inspect(require('lint').linters.luacheck.args)).
or unpack the original args into the table and add your new args below it. Create an auto command to run the linter when opeing a buffer, saving or leaving insert mode.

local lint = require("lint")

lint.linters_by_ft = {
    lua = { "luacheck" },
}

lint.linters.luacheck.args = {
    unpack(lint.linters.luacheck.args),
    "--globals",
    "love",
    "vim",
}

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd({ "BufEnter", "BufWritePost", "InsertLeave" }, {
    callback = function()
        lint.try_lint()
    end,
})

Setting up mason-conform.

https://github.com/zapling/mason-conform.nvim
Edit the file ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua.
Below the conform entry add mason-conform.

    {
        "zapling/mason-conform.nvim",
        event = "VeryLazy",
        dependencies = { "conform.nvim" },
        config = function()
            require("configs.mason-conform")
        end,
    },

Create the file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/mason-conform.lua.
Any formatters you don't wish to auto install add to ignore_install table.

require("mason-conform").setup({
    -- List of formatters to ignore during install
    ignore_install = {},
})

Setting up mason-lspconfig.

https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim
Edit the file ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua.
Below the lspconfig entry add mason-lspconfig.

    {
        "williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim",
        event = "VeryLazy",
        dependencies = { "nvim-lspconfig" },
        config = function()
            require("configs.mason-lspconfig")
        end,
    },

Create the file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/mason-lspconfig.lua.
This entire file is simply creating a table of servers to pass into ensure_installed.
There is also a table at the top to add any server that should not be installed.

local lspconfig = package.loaded["lspconfig"]

-- List of servers to ignore during install
local ignore_install = {}

-- Helper function to find if value is in table.
local function table_contains(table, value)
    for _, v in ipairs(table) do
        if v == value then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end

-- Build a list of lsp servers to install minus the ignored list.
local all_servers = {}
for _, s in ipairs(lspconfig.servers) do
    if not table_contains(ignore_install, s) then
        table.insert(all_servers, s)
    end
end

require("mason-lspconfig").setup({
    ensure_installed = all_servers,
    automatic_installation = false,
})

Setting up mason-lint.

https://github.com/rshkarin/mason-nvim-lint
Edit the file ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua.
Below the lint entry add mason-lint.

    {
        "rshkarin/mason-nvim-lint",
        event = "VeryLazy",
        dependencies = { "nvim-lint" },
        config = function()
            require("configs.mason-lint")
        end,
    },

Create the file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/mason-lint.lua.
This entire file is simply creating a table of linters to pass into ensure_installed.
There is also a table at the top to add any linter that should not be installed.

local lint = package.loaded["lint"]

-- List of linters to ignore during install
local ignore_install = {}

-- Helper function to find if value is in table.
local function table_contains(table, value)
    for _, v in ipairs(table) do
        if v == value then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end

-- Build a list of linters to install minus the ignored list.
local all_linters = {}
for _, v in pairs(lint.linters_by_ft) do
    for _, linter in ipairs(v) do
        if not table_contains(ignore_install, linter) then
            table.insert(all_linters, linter)
        end
    end
end

require("mason-nvim-lint").setup({
    ensure_installed = all_linters,
    automatic_installation = false,
})

C and C++

UPDATE

I have changed the hack that was in place for clang_format since the video.
Change file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/conform.lua.

        c_cpp = { "clang-format" }, -- Hack to force download.
        c = { "clang_format" },
        cpp = { "clang_format" },

and

        clang_format = {

The a simpler way.

        c = { "clang-format" },
        cpp = { "clang-format" },

and

        ["clang-format"] = {

In ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/lspconfig.lua. The on_attach function takes client and bufnr parameters. It has almost no documentations and i have no idea if leaving it off affects anything. But it appears it should be provided.

    on_attach = function(client, bufnr)
        client.server_capabilities.documentFormattingProvider = false
        client.server_capabilities.documentRangeFormattingProvider = false
        on_attach(client, bufnr)

lspconfig

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/lspconfig.lua.
Add "clangd", to lspconfig.servers.

lspconfig.servers = {
    "lua_ls",
    "clangd",
}

Add a setup for clangd. This disables formatting.

lspconfig.clangd.setup({
    on_attach = function(client, bufnr)
        client.server_capabilities.documentFormattingProvider = false
        client.server_capabilities.documentRangeFormattingProvider = false
        on_attach(client, bufnr)
    end,
    on_init = on_init,
    capabilities = capabilities,
})

conform

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/conform.lua.
Add a C and C++ entry to formatters_by_ft.

        c = { "clang-format" },
        cpp = { "clang-format" },

Between formatters_by_ft and format_on_save tables add. This sets tab spacing to 4. The default is 2.

    formatters = {
        ["clang-format"] = {
            prepend_args = {
                "-style={ \
                IndentWidth: 4, \
                TabWidth: 4, \
                UseTab: Never, \
                AccessModifierOffset: 0, \
                IndentAccessModifiers: true, \
                PackConstructorInitializers: Never}",
            },
        },
    },

treesitter

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/treesitter.lua.
Add syntax highlighting for c, c++, make and cmake.

        "c",
        "cmake",
        "cpp",
        "make",

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vK3VCfKEyQ

Golang

UPDATE

I think all the formatters for Go only apply to actual .go files. So all non Go filetypes have been removed from conform.lua. In treesitter.lua gotmpl has been added.

lspconfig

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/lspconfig.lua.
Add "gopls", to lspconfig.servers.

lspconfig.servers = {
    "lua_ls",
    "gopls",
}

Add a setup for gopls. This disables formatting and adds some linting options.

lspconfig.gopls.setup({
    on_attach = function(client, bufnr)
        client.server_capabilities.documentFormattingProvider = false
        client.server_capabilities.documentRangeFormattingProvider = false
        on_attach(client, bufnr)
    end,
    on_init = on_init,
    capabilities = capabilities,
    cmd = { "gopls" },
    filetypes = { "go", "gomod", "gotmpl", "gowork" },
    root_dir = lspconfig.util.root_pattern("go.work", "go.mod", ".git"),
    settings = {
        gopls = {
            analyses = {
                unusedparams = true,
            },
            completeUnimported = true,
            usePlaceholders = true,
            staticcheck = true,
        },
    },
})

conform

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/conform.lua.
Add Golang entry to formatters_by_ft.

        go = { "gofumpt", "goimports-reviser", "golines" },

Between formatters_by_ft and format_on_save add entries to table formatters.

    formatters = {
        ["goimports-reviser"] = {
            prepend_args = { "-rm-unused" },
        },
        golines = {
            prepend_args = { "--max-len=80" },
        },
    },

treesitter

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/treesitter.lua.
Add syntax highlighting for Go related filetypes.

        "go",
        "gomod",
        "gosum",
        "gotmpl",
        "gowork",

Between formatters_by_ft and format_on_save add entries to table formatters.
Try to speed up black and to to make isort play better wtih black.

    formatters = {
        -- Python
        black = {
            prepend_args = {
                "--fast",
                "--line-length",
                "80",
            },
        },
        isort = {
            prepend_args = {
                "--profile",
                "black",
            },
        },
    },

Python (Dreams of Code)

lspconfig

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/lspconfig.lua.
Add "pyright", to lspconfig.servers.

    "pyright",

Choose default or choose to disable type checks for pyright.
(Choice 1) For default add "pyright" to default_servers.

    "pyright",

(Choice 2) Or to prevent duplicate linting from pyright and mypy add the following. This will not stop pyright unused variable hits. I was unable to turn this off.

lspconfig.pyright.setup({
    on_attach = on_attach,
    on_init = on_init,
    capabilities = capabilities,

    settings = {
        python = {
            analysis = {
                typeCheckingMode = "off", -- Disable type checking diagnostics
            },
        },
    },
})

conform

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/conform.lua.
Add a python entry to formatters_by_ft for isort and black.

        "python",

dap

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua.
We will add the entry for nvim-dap and also load it's config from configs/dap.lua

    {
        "mfussenegger/nvim-dap",
        config = function()
            require("configs.dap")
        end,
    },

Create ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/dap.lua.
We are adding a leader + d + b key mapping to set a breakpoint. This key mapping is only set when dap is loaded that's why it's not in mappings.lua

local map = vim.keymap.set

map(
    "n",
    "<leader>db",
    "<cmd> DapToggleBreakpoint <CR>",
    { desc = "Toggle DAP Breakpoint" }

    { desc = "Start or continue DAP" }
)

dap-ui

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua.
we need an entry for both nvim-nio and nvim-dap-ui. Dap UI depends on both nvim-dap and nvim-nio. We will load it's configuration from configs/dap-ui.lua

    {
        "nvim-neotest/nvim-nio",
    },

    {

        },
        config = function()
            require("configs.dap-ui")
        end,
    },

Create ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/dap-ui.lua.

local dap = require("dap")

dapui.setup()

local map = vim.keymap.set
map(
    "n",
    "<leader>du",
    "<cmd>lua require('dapui').toggle()<CR>",
    { desc = "Toggle DAP UI" }
)

dap.listeners.after.attach.dapui_config = function()

    dapui.close()
end

dap-python

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua.
We will have this load when python files are loaded. We will load it's configurations from configs/dap-python.lua.

    {

            require("configs.dap-python")
        end,
    },

Create ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/dap-python.lua.
We are setting the path to debugpy and passing that to the dap-python setup. We are also setting up key mappings that will only be loaded when nvim-dap-python is loaded.

local path = "~/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/debugpy/venv/bin/python"
require("dap-python").setup(path)

local map = vim.keymap.set

map("n", "<leader>dpr", function()
    require("dap-python").test_method()
end, { desc = "Run DAP Python test method" })

mason-nvim-dap

Edit file ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/init.lua.
We will used mason-nvim-dap to automagicly install debugpy. We will set it's loading to verylazy so it doesn't slowdown nvim startup time. It will also load its config from configs/mason-dap.lua

    {
        "jay-babu/mason-nvim-dap.nvim",
        event = "VeryLazy",
        config = function()
            require("configs.mason-dap")
        end,
    },

Create ~/.config/nvim/lua/configs/mason-dap.lua.
This mason-nvim-dap like other similar packages doesn't actually load it's packages on demand so we will just put the package into the ensured installed. Debugpy is actually refered to as python. Any package that is being installed automatically that you don't want to, can be added into the exclude table.

require("mason-nvim-dap").setup({
    ensure_installed = { "python" },
    automatic_installation = { exclude = {} },
})

        client.server_capabilities.documentFormattingProvider = false
        client.server_capabilities.documentRangeFormattingProvider = false
