The Lazyman Neovim Configuration Manager can be used to install, initialize, and manage multiple Neovim configurations. Over 70 popular Neovim configurations are supported including 6 LazyVim based configs, 4 NvChad, 3 LunarVim, 7 AstroNvim, a Kickstart, a SpaceVim, and many personal and starter configurations.
To install Lazyman, clone the repository and execute the lazyman.sh initialization script:
git clone https://github.com/doctorfree/nvim-lazyman $HOME/.config/nvim-Lazyman
$HOME/.config/nvim-Lazyman/lazyman.sh
This initialization process installs requirements and dependencies using the native package manager. Supported platforms include macOS, Debian based Linux (e.g. Ubuntu), RPM based Linux (e.g. Fedora), Arch Linux and Arch-like platforms, Alpine Linux, Void Linux, and SUSE Linux. After initialization, execute the lazyman command (installed in ~/.local/bin) to view the menu.
Lazyman installs its own Neovim configuration along with the lazyman command which provides a command line interface to managing all these configurations as well as a menu interface. Included is a Bash/ZSH script that, when sourced, provides fuzzy search, selection, and launching of Lazyman supported Neovim configurations.
The menu interface includes sub-menus to configure several of the Neovim configurations, demonstrating one method to ease configuration management.
