Pack is a fork of paq-nvim and tries to be dead simple and levereging the neovim's builtin APIs to reduce it's size.

• Simple: Easy to use and configure
• Fast: Installs and updates packages concurrently using Neovim's event-loop
• Small: Around 450 LOC
• UpToDate: Relies as much as possible to neovim nightly APIs
• Upstreamable: Tries to always match the neovim core lua code style

• git
• Neovim Nightly

Clone this repository.

For Unix-like systems:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/saccarosium/pack.nvim.git \
    "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/nvim/site/pack/packs/start/pack.nvim

For Windows (cmd.exe):

git clone https://github.com/saccarosium/pack.nvim.git %LOCALAPPDATA%\nvim-data\site\pack\packs\start\pack.nvim

For Windows (powershell):

git clone https://github.com/saccarosium/pack.nvim.git $env:LOCALAPPDATA\nvim-data\site\pack\packs\start\pack.nvim

In your init.lua, require the "pack" module with a list of packages, like:

-- Bootstrap pack.nvim
local path = vim.fs.joinpath(vim.fn.stdpath("data"), "site", "pack", "packs", "start", "pack.nvim")
if not vim.uv.fs_stat(path) then
  local url = "https://github.com/saccarosium/pack.nvim.git"
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", url, path })
  assert(vim.v.shell_error == 0, "pack.nvim installation failed.")
  vim.cmd.packadd("pack.nvim")
end

-- Register plugins
require("pack").register({
  -- Insert plugins here
})

Then, source your configuration (executing :source $MYVIMRC) and run :PackInstall.

• PackInstall: Install all packages listed in your configuration.
• PackUpdate: Update all packages already on your system (it won't implicitly install them).
• PackClean: Remove all packages (in Pack's directory) that aren't listed on your configuration.
• PackSync: Execute the three commands listed above.
