Features of GarudaNvim

GarudaNvim is more than just another Neovim setup – it’s a finely tuned machine built for those who want to code, not configure. From productivity-boosting keymaps to eye-pleasing themes, GarudaNvim takes Neovim to new heights. Dive in to see what makes it tick:


Effortless Installation

  • Automatic Setup, Minimal Hassle: Our installer handles everything from OS detection to plugin setup, leaving you more time to focus on your code and less time wondering why things don’t work.
  • Cross-Platform Magic: Whether you’re on macOS or Linux, GarudaNvim's installer is as compatible as the most versatile coder. One run, and it’s all set up – no more wrestling with dependencies.

Productivity Powerhouse

  • Shortcut Wizardry: With GarudaNvim’s custom keymaps, you’ll forget what “slow” feels like. Jump between files, split windows, resize buffers – it’s all a keystroke away. Less typing, more coding.
  • Which-Key Guidance: With Which-Key as your guide, every possible keybinding is right at your fingertips. No more + ??? guessing games – just press, discover, and power up.

Enhanced Navigation

  • Telescope for Search-Anything: Need to find a file, buffer, or command? Telescope integration lets you glide through your project faster than a Ctrl+F on steroids. Say goodbye to scrolling aimlessly.
  • NvimTree for File Management: A built-in, intuitive file explorer keeps all your files accessible with a simple shortcut. Navigate like a pro without ever leaving Neovim’s window.

Customizable UI Elements

  • Polished Status and Tab Lines: With Lualine for the statusline and Barbar for the tabline, you get a sleek, customizable interface that keeps tabs on your workflow without becoming a cluttered mess.
  • Eye-Friendly Highlights: Each highlight color and cursorline has been meticulously chosen to ensure comfort, visibility, and minimal eye strain – because staring at code all day is already hard enough.

Multiple Themes Built In

  • Color Schemes for Every Mood: With options like Tokyo Night, Nordic, Dracula, Catppuccin, and more, you can match your Neovim vibes with your monitor brightness (or your mood, no judgment here).
  • Light and Dark Mode Toggle: A single command flips the theme, so you can go from night owl to daylight coder without skipping a beat.

Seamless Plugin Management

  • Lazy for Effortless Plugin Control: Why “install manually” when you can “install lazily”? With the Lazy plugin manager, adding, updating, or removing plugins is as effortless as a lazy Sunday.
  • Curated Essentials: Hand-picked plugins for maximum productivity – from Onedarkpro for a pleasing default theme to Telescope for instant file searching. Only the best make the cut.

Minimal Yet Expandable

  • Core Setup, Endless Potential: GarudaNvim starts minimal so you can build up as needed. Want a bare-bones environment? Done. Want to add your own collection of plugins and tweak everything? Go wild.
  • Easy Customization: Adjust options, add new plugins, or play around with settings without having to unearth cryptic files. The setup is designed to be as flexible as a Neovim enthusiast’s ideal config.

Detailed Documentation

  • Knowledge At Your Fingertips: Whether you’re a Neovim newbie or a seasoned coder, the GarudaNvim Docs cover everything you need to know, from installation to mastering every shortcut. No need to trawl forums for answers.
  • Example-Rich Explanations: Real examples, quick tips, and straightforward instructions ensure that you spend more time coding and less time deciphering docs.

Updates and Feedback

  • Constant Updates and Improvements: GarudaNvim is a passion project by Priyanshu Ranjan, supported by a growing community of Neovim enthusiasts. Expect regular improvements, fresh features, and feedback-driven updates.
  • Built by Coders, for Coders: GarudaNvim grows with the feedback of real-world usage, so everything here is designed with developers' needs in mind.

Take GarudaNvim for a spin, and you’ll see – it’s the Neovim setup you didn’t know you needed. It’s efficient, it’s powerful, and yes, it’s a bit sarcastic. But when you’re coding at warp speed, you’ll get it.
