What is this?

Tutorial/template for using Nix to create a portable Vim "distro" for vimconf that theoretically runs on ANY linux distribution.

Accompanying writeup.

Usage

For non-nixos linux distros: Three lines of bash: from zero to fully configured Vim with Nix.

git clone https://github.com/DieracDelta/vimconf_talk.git # (obtain code)
cd vimconf_talk && bash setup.sh                          # (install nix, modify bashrc)
source $HOME/.bashrc && nix run .                         # (build and run NeoVim)

For nixos with flakes enabled:

nix run github:DieracDelta/vimconf_talk

Removal

rm -rf $PWD
