Neovim

Neovim config pulled from its own repository as a chezmoi external, plus the editor hooks the dotfiles wire into it.

Neovim is the default editor everywhere in this setup. Its configuration (AstroNvim-based, per the repo README) lives in a separate repository, prdlk/nvim. This repo only clones it and wires other tools to it; the Lua config itself is not documented here.

Source	`.chezmoiexternal.toml` entry `.config/nvim`
Target	`~/.config/nvim` (a git checkout)
Remote	`https://github.com/prdlk/nvim.git`
Packages	Arch: `neovim` (pacman). macOS: `neovim` (Homebrew)

How the external works

[".config/nvim"]
    type = "git-repo"
    url = "https://github.com/prdlk/nvim.git"
    [".config/nvim".pull]
        args = ["--ff-only"]

type = "git-repo": chezmoi runs git clone when ~/.config/nvim does not exist, so a fresh machine gets the config on first apply.
No refreshPeriod is set, so a normal chezmoi apply never pulls. The local checkout always wins; commit and push nvim changes from ~/.config/nvim directly.
A forced refresh (chezmoi apply --refresh-externals) runs git pull --ff-only, which refuses to merge if local history has diverged.

See externals and ignore rules for how chezmoi handles externals in general.

Ignored runtime paths

.chezmoiignore.tmpl keeps chezmoi away from state that tools write inside the checkout:

Path	Why
`.config/nvim/lazy-lock.json`	lazy.nvim lockfile, rewritten on plugin updates
`.config/nvim/.git`, `.config/nvim/.git/**`	the checkout’s own git metadata
`.config/nvim/.omc/**`	agent tooling state
`.config/nvim/.crush/**`	agent tooling state
`.config/nvim/.understand-anything/**`	agent tooling state

Integrations in this repo

Where	What
`dot_config/fish/conf.d/10-env.fish`	`EDITOR=nvim`. gh falls back to it because its `editor` key is empty.
Aliases	`e` = `nvim`; `e.v` opens `~/.config/nvim/lua` in yazi; `e.t` opens the tmux config in nvim.
Kitty	`Ctrl`+`Shift`+`e` opens nvim in the current directory in a 50/50 vertical split. Kitty’s `listen_on` socket lets nvim hand `Ctrl`+`h/j/k/l` at a window edge back to kitty.
Yazi	The `edit` opener and `Ctrl`+`v` / `Ctrl`+`x` call `~/.local/bin/yazi-nvim-open`. Inside an nvim terminal (`$NVIM` set) files open in the host instance through the nvim-side `EditFromYazi` Lua function; otherwise a blocking `nvim` starts.
Git	`git difftool` runs `nvim "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" +"CodeDiff file $LOCAL $REMOTE"`.
LeetCode	The default workspace sets `"editor": "nvim"`.
