Does this support neovim/nvim ? about swim HOT 5 CLOSED

I was thinking about having multiple vimrcs before. I was thinking about creating symlinks and keeping folders like you have done with swim project. But, I hadn't enough time to keep and build it as a good script. But, suddenly, I remembered about your project, and tried it. It just worked.

1. ~/.vim (ie. .vim folder in your user-home-folder) is the folder where files are written related to ~/.vimrc. ie. Pluggins, syntax highlighting etc. goes to this folder as far I can tell. I have used it vim in both Windows and Linux. Both follow this pattern. Perhaps, you just use plain vim (with out pluggins) !!? [I don't know, I'm taking a wild guess]

2. a) I have suggested few commands to make the installation working. It's just after that statement. It starts with this statement Below steps, are what I followed.
   b) Anyway, the problem was, it was not detecting swim binary, during installation and after installation. By the way, I was able to figure out the path issue with your Readme alone. That's good thing. I really happy about it. Congrats. I managed to fix the path via some methods I mentioned in the blog.

I use Debian Linux. Debian 11 (ie.Testing Release, it's very recent one with almost all latest piece of software, I ever wanted).

✅Yes, this does! I've had my personal computer running with neovim and swim for years 🙌

Neovim supports the .vimrc format, but nvim keeps the configuration file in a different place.

The Nvim config file is named "init.vim", located at:
Unix ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
Windows ~/AppData/Local/nvim/init.vim

What works with swim is to have your ~/.vimrc file and symlink ~/.config/nvim/init.vim to point to ~/.vimrc. I've done this on my personal computer with the following:

⚠️ Backup what's in $HOME/.config/nvim/init.vim before running this ⚠️

 # WARNING: make sure you back this up first
rm -rf "$HOME/.config/nvim/init.vim"
ln -s "$DIR/vimrc" "$HOME/.config/nvim/init.vim"

I have a small question. Only symlink-ing ~/.config/nvim/init.vim needed ? What about ~/.vim directory ?

By the way, I appreciate your work. I really likes it.
Also, I have written a blog post about swim here.

Your feedback about my blog is also welcome 👍

Wow, incredible! Nobody has done a blog post on this before, I really appreciate that. Here's my questions along with feedback:

1. I'm not sure what ~/.vim does. I don't have one in my computer and a quick google search didn't help me learn this. What's that directory used for?

2. In the blog post you say "Unfortunately, it didn't work well for me." can you inform me what went wrong here? Showing people how quick a good installation is will be important for your blog post to be popular

I don't understand if there are any questions remaining here @ajeeb-kp-keleno . Thank you for the blog post again 🙌
