You can find a starter template for LazyVim here

Install the LazyVim Starter

  • Make a backup of your current Neovim files:

    # required
    mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak

    # optional but recommended
    mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim.bak
    mv ~/.local/state/nvim ~/.local/state/nvim.bak
    mv ~/.cache/nvim ~/.cache/nvim.bak
  • Clone the starter

    git clone https://github.com/LazyVim/starter ~/.config/nvim
  • Remove the .git folder, so you can add it to your own repo later

    rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/.git
  • Start Neovim!

    nvim

    Refer to the comments in the files on how to customize LazyVim.
