Neovim Setup

Important: This is my latest config with lazy.nvim. It is similar, but not the same as my original packer setup.

If you are coming from my full neovim setup video with packer, that config is found here: Packer Config

If you clone the repo into your machine and use the config by copying .config/nvim to your home folder, wait for the plugins, language servers and parsers to install with lazy.nvim, Mason and nvim-treesitter. If you are opening a lua file or another file I have language servers configured for, like html, css or javascript/typescript, you might also get an error saying that the server failed to start. This is because Mason hasn't installed it yet. Press enter to continue, Mason will automatically install it.
