Astro Vim - All in one Nvim config!!

[@kabin3364]

Hi, developer of the AstroVim here. I really appreciate your review on AstroVim, well explained and simple. Great content, keep up the good work :)

[@criscrosbr]

Thanks for you both!

[@madhavan_raja]

Thank you for this plugin! :) Do you have any plans of making an AstroEmacs anytime soon?

[@Patrickdaawsome]

Hey hey, I'm changing from my old custom config to one of the treesitter preconfigured setups such as yours, NvChad, or LunarVim. Can you offer any thoughts on the motivation for building your own version instead of those 2 older already existing projects?

[@tomkoefod]

Thanks to both of you too, I have now replaced my old nvim config with this and love it as a starting point for a full lua config.

[@latlov]

I will try it!

[@Ma1ne2]

Highly recommending this video for everyone starting with AstroVim, everyone starting with nvim and specially everyone switching from VS Code! This was able to answer me a lot of questions I had, that I couln't find answers to in the documentation of AstroVim!

[@JohnCodes]

Thanks!

[@dominik2327]

I've been messing around with this for 2 hours now and... Wow, it's just wonderful

[@diegomora997]

I used to use vscode, then switched to neovim with vim-plug and coc, and never really liked that much, but the lua implementation with packer is perfect, I love it.

[@korniychuk]

The first really aesthetic configuration for NeoVim! Thanks for your amazing work!

[@gloverelaxis]

Thank you for correcting AstroVim's incorrect use of "aesthetic" to "aesthetically pleasing" ;) This video is very good exploration of Astro's UI, thanks!

[@rickyisajedi]

Short and sweet. Loved it.

[@JohnCodes]

Still not sure what's going on with my audio issues 🙃sorry again for the weird sync problem! Hope you enjoyed this one and learned something new!!

[@kazisamir123]

thanks a lot, only video on KZbin that explained well about astro nvim

[@crebafurros]

Great vid, I switched from windows to linux and this was very useful

[@parthapal333]

I could not get LunerVim installed in windows system but AstroVim is very easy to setup.

[@ShahabazBagwan]

Nice video I was looking for a starting point with my nvim config and this gives me that.

[@zakariachahboun]

using pop_os and vim and go lang = awesome

[@razvan683]

Astro vim just fixed all my problems with vim :D to

[@maxreuv]

Nice! Thank you, I had no idea AtroVim existed, now I do and am planning to take it for a spin

[@FredySandoval_123]

The terminal inside vim just got me.

[@utvikler-no]

Thanks for this!!! Love learning this from good tutorials!

[@techlightdev]

I'm beginner of nvim and I love it but I can not config all that I want. Thank for this tutorial to change me from VsCode to Astronvim so amazing tools that I love it. 😊

[@HC-nu6xr]

What Nerdfont should I install in order to have all the icons? The package is huge, is there an specific font or package?

[@inigoarejula2147]

I have been using for a while and it suits perfect for me, however i would like to format the go code on saving as vs code does

[@antoineleduc7611]

Can you run an autofunc to format on save ?

[@dromedda6810]

My nvim config is basically just a fork of AstroVim, its really good. and i've been using it for about 4 months now

[@Superwatson28]

Woo Really ashamed of just hearing about this editor. I’m using Spacevim but want to switch to a full neovim compatible editor now with full lua support. Thanks for the video

[@cyberknight339]

hey john can you make a video on how to add new plugins in astro vim..I tried myself using the packer packagemanager but when I install some plugins the nvim homescreen becomes weird and most plugins donot work.. I tried editing the init.lua.. but when I saw the github page of astro vim there was completely some other thing there.. can u please make a video on this

[@NathanLTPK]

just checked out this, it's re-branding to AstroNvim, and it's going to support neovim 0.7. really nice project. chef kiss

[@JohnCodes]

Love that! Better name honestly

[@alexwexov4298]

Great video. Please make more videos about vim :)

[@tarunnair9506]

Great video! Also, the "git-gutter signs" you mentioned were actually from a lua version called gitsigns

[@JohnCodes]

Oh nice! "Git gutter" is usually what I refer to those as, even in IDEs like Goland. But I always forget that's the name of the plugin too hahah

[@ritchielrez1680]

Gutter refers to sign columns actually, so he's technically correct.

[@tarunnair9506]

@@ritchielrez1680 Huh, good to know

[@ritchielrez1680]

@@tarunnair9506 Happy to find you out in KZbin. :)

[@k283]

@@JohnCodes what's the point of that, though? Git gutter, nerdtree, method definitions and references etc. - this is basically VSCode with Vim plugin, that's all. You made a lot of redundant, unnecessary work and arrived to the exact same result that out-of-the-box VSCode with Vim plugin provide. So, what's the point?..

[@fastfading4667]

how is this nvim compared to lunarvim

[@kamiloarroyave5726]

Quiero agradecerle por la informacion que me proporcionó, estoy seguro me sera de gran utilidad.

great. installed it right away

Hi, what "j" command did you use at the beginning? Thanks!

[@cbbcbb6803]

Can Astro Vim be made to startup already in input mode?

[@the7ak3]

What terminal are you using and how do you get the lil zsh bar at the bottom? is that a zsh plugin or theme?

[@thecastiel69]

I use lunar vim

[@Mojo_DK]

How does this compare to SpaceVim and LunarVim? Which is the best one?

[@rasbinthapa5535]

You are the best bud

[@AmparoDios]

Hello. I am new to nvim and astrovim. I want to make it run on my WSL2 Ubuntu. However I can install only the version NVIM 0.6.1 from official Ubuntu repo. And the main page of AstroVim suggests, that I will need the NVIM 0.8. Is it really so? I can't somehow get it run on 0.6.1. :(

[@user-mfsc-2024]

does the nvim config installation work on Windows Terminal powershell environment ?

[@elonmask4077]

how do you ctrl + space like vscode for tab completion in astrovim? help me pls..

[@IgnacioChavez]

love everything, except those chef kisses...lol

[@DaniS2R]

Great video bro! Do you use TMUX? I saw you have customized your underline in terminal, how did you do it?

[@johnaikerarias9869]

Excellent review, is there by default any faster compiler in AstroVim?

[@rasulali1435]

Looks like someone yanked my nvim config and changed the ASCII art at the start page 😄. I'll check it out for some improvements for my config, very nice.

[@dang_minh_tri]

You can share tutorial install Astro Nvim in MacOS please?

Hi there, I am a newbe at vim and I am learning and using astrovim. One thing I am struggling is getting my go code formatted, can you help?

[@RootsterAnon]

I would like to see a golang debugger added to this. Can you make a video on that? Great video. Tnx

[@sabid.mahmud]

Which terminal do you use ? How can I get this terminal on ubuntu?

[@machinima1402]

Hey! i'm currently using astrovim, is there a way to implement gofmt and goimports on buff save in this distribution of neovim? i'm in love with this implementation. Super simple and concise video, excelent job!

[@ahmedwaleed4520]

You can paste your autcmd inside polish section inside custom user config init.lua file. astrovim already comes with example user_example folder rename that to user and modify the init.lua config file asper you need.

[@mrviago5676]

can u guys tell me how to fix icons in astro vim cause in my astro vim they're all fucked up

[@user-er4fr9zd7s]

It's basically exactly the same as lunar vim I don't see any difference from there ( they may have a lot of difference on how is done the distribution but the final product is similar )

[@user-er4fr9zd7s]

I just checked it and it look really good

[@JohnCodes]

I think alot of the keybindings and plugin defaults are more opinionated. I guess Lunar is _also really opinonated_ haha.

[@anasouardini]

I thought it's astrojs with vim LOL. I was struggling with it recently.

[@marcoscarbajal9684]

can anyone tell me how to do to split tabs ? ex: i have a ultrawide monitor and i want to see 3 files in vertical at the same time

[@megasuperlexa2]

does it have a debugger?

[@mhemaungthuwin7916]

How about lunar vim?

[@mattia558]

I might use this instead of lunar vim

The fuzzy finder is Telescope. EDIT: NVM you figured it out yourself 😂😂😂

[@Torvating]

Does it have a function to rename variables/functions like the project nvim.renamer?

[@JohnCodes]

That would be LSP / language package specific I believe

[@Torvating]

@@JohnCodes yep I found it :). Thanks! I cloned it and right now im doing some extra configs like code-runner and so on. Can you give me a hand and tell me a way to set folds on it? like.... short a whole function or class in a single line and keep it so. Right now I'm doing fallowing thing: 1- Select all lines 2- press zf but when I close the file it disappers :/

Hold on, treesitter gives us what? completions? Nah...

[@danielifechukwu1453]

he does not to blowff his config

[@windowsrefund]

Why on earth would you feel the need to spin up a VM just to test a editor? I mean, you obviously know you can just backup your ~/.config/nvim directory. It's just so overkill.

[@JohnCodes]

Good question! I wanted to show the full experience, including installing Nvim from scratch without any configurations, patches, or customizations I've made. A VM is a common workflow I use to get a completely new, fresh environment.

[@YvanDaSilva]

@@JohnCodes a container seems more adequate if that's only what you need, but that doesn't matter. For new comers starting with the env prep (any env for that matter), might be a show stopper. I would recommend you get the env read to play before hitting record :)

[@AmericazGotTalentYT]

because he can

[@windowsrefund]

@@AmericazGotTalentYT That's not a good reason.

[@bloody_fool]

lol dont move your config to /tmp. It will be deleted on reboot.

[@florianhennig4778]

Might be better to get some understanding of the tools you use before talking in videos about it. At first: this is just a bunch of bundled plugins. Since I do not know who is watching this, you can easily enable all the "magic" in regular nvim too. For me in the video this wasn't clear enough, especially since the actual config files are not shown at all. Second: the plugin manager is called "packer", PackerSync is just the command it provides to update the plugins according to the configuration. And third: treesitter is just creating an AST (abstract syntax tree) for the provided file types. Mostly this is just needed for better syntax aware highlighting (although some plugins like refactor.nvim use it too).

[@thengakola6217]

7:52 if u have no idea what ur doing, pls dont release such videos 🗿

[@JohnCodes]

This video was not about telescope but gave a quick fact check anyways!!

[@justinzhang9935]

This video is so annoying. Bro your terminal is just too close to the top of the screen that at most time the youtube title covered your cmdln.

[@kostisfioravantes334]

It's total crap. It provides an unnecessary layer of abstraction for no reason. It takes the same time to configure it than it takes to configure vanilla neovim. Total BS.

[@JoshJetson]

Kind of a wannabe spacevim but nothing close to as amazing.

[@gonkong5638]

Can anyone share your config for frontend ? I try null_ls.builtins.formatting.prettier, but it doesn't format my code, I use user_example/init.lua, no thing change just add that one line but it not working. Everything else is fine.

[@muhammadraza7231]

Lunarvim is better

[@spoofer9113]

Bro check out Lunar Vim his developer @chris@machine is great!!
