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.
- 🔥 Transform your Neovim into a full-fledged IDE
- 💤 Easily customize and extend your config with lazy.nvim
- 🚀 Blazingly fast
- 🧹 Sane default settings for options, autocmds, and keymaps
- 📦 Comes with a wealth of plugins pre-configured and ready to use
- Neovim >= 0.8.0 (needs to be built with LuaJIT)
- Git >= 2.19.0 (for partial clones support)
- a Nerd Font (optional)
