Wish we had a follow up lesson for migrating to Lazy. my nvim config is heavily based on this series and your DotFiles repo.

I wish this series existed when I started this epic journey that have become my Dotfiles. It was such a struggle but in the end it paid of I know so much about a whole slew of subjects I wouldn't have dared to touch before this adventure.

Looking back and thinking would I want to have had it anyway else?... probably not.. But I am very happy to see that for people starting now the thing I wished for now exists.

But the main thing I wanted to say before it devolved into writing this unnecessarily long comment is... "Keep doing what you do Jess! 👏🏻"

PS: It's crazy how much I find myself using neovim for solving problems that have little to nothing to do with development work, but it just is packed with nifty features you rarely find in other software.

Great Series, Applies ok-ish today... Had to find out some things myself, mostly because nvim plugins move fast...

will attempt to add debuging and migrate to Lazy myself.

Thank you Jess and Laracasts for the content :)

PS: ant chances of a dedicated Tmux tutorial? I kinda feel it is hard.

PPS: for dotfiles management look into GNU/Stow

Thanks Jess! This series is a great way to get me interested in neovim :) Now I have so many questions about how to do other cool things in neovim. Also we waiting for updating this series.

Today neovim is 0.10.xx, there is another cool package manager like Lazy, and so many plugins have been updated since you created this series.

To all my Laracast classmates: If you are interested in neovim, I suggest you to read the book "Learning the vi and Vim editors". A lot of useful tips, tricks, as well as basic methods of vim (and neovim too).

Great series, thank you! It was the main reason why I bought the subscription to Laracasts and I don't regret it. Thank to you, I finally manage to figure out the basic neovim setup that does at the least the basic things that I need.

Thanks for a great course. Unfortunately the plugin manager is no longer supported, but I was able to use your dotfiles Github Repo and Lazy.nvim to get through the course. I really enjoyed learning how to get an initial setup.

Well, the Star Wars lightsaber analogy was incredible, just like the course. Thanks, Jess.

You get a window into a seasoned developer's mind and workflow for the price of an Uber. I can't overstate the value of a Laracasts subscription.
