Nixvim config
My Neovim config using nixvim.

Testing your new configuration
To test your configuration simply run the following command
nix run .
If you have nix installed, you can directly run my config from anywhere
You can try running mine with:
nix run 'github:elythh/nixvim'
Installing into NixOS configuration
This nixvim flake will output a derivation that you can easily include
in either home.packages for home-manager, or
environment.systemPackages for NixOS. Or whatever happens with darwin?
You can add my nixvim configuration as an input to your NixOS configuration like:
{
inputs = {
nixvim.url = "github:elythh/nixvim";
};
}
Direct installation
With the input added you can reference it directly.
{ inputs, system, ... }:
{
# NixOS
environment.systemPackages = [ inputs.nixvim.packages.${pkgs.system}.default ];
# home-manager
home.packages = [ inputs.nixvim.packages.${pkgs.system}.default ];
}
The binary built by nixvim is already named as nvim so you can call it just
like you normally would.
Installing as an overlay
Another method is to overlay your custom build over neovim from nixpkgs.
This method is less straight-forward but allows you to install neovim like
you normally would. With this method you would just install neovim in your
configuration (home.packges = with pkgs; [ neovim ]), but you replace
neovim in pkgs with your derivation from nixvim.
{
pkgs = import inputs.nixpkgs {
overlays = [
(final: prev: {
neovim = inputs.nixvim.packages.${pkgs.system}.default;
})
];
}
}
Bonus lazy method
You can just straight up alias something like nix run 'github:elythh/nixvim' to nvim.
Bonus extend method
If you want to extend this configuration is your own NixOS config, you can do so using nixvimExtend. See here for more info.
Example for overwriting the theme
{
inputs,
lib,
...
}: let
nixvim' = inputs.nixvim.packages."x86_64-linux".default;
nvim = nixvim'.nixvimExtend {
config.theme = lib.mkForce "jellybeans";
};
in {
home.packages = [
nvim
];
}
