Install NeoVim along with NVChad installation
NeoVim has a tremendous number of improvements compared to Vi. As with Vi, it has a very steep ram-up. Basically, you have to configure from zero, which is not easy considering the large number of plug-ins.
NVChad is a set of pre-configured plug-ins. It’s not the only one, but this is the one I like. I’m able to develop software easily.
The installation process has many steps, but they are straightforward. You shall install it using your preferred terminal program. I’ve used the snap version of nvim because I had issue with the one in the KUbuntu software repository.
The font that is installed lets you get the Git icons in the file tree view.
