Requires Neovim 0.10 or newer, each module must be individually enabled in your Lua config.
Neovim is a code editor that runs in the terminal and is popular among developers who prefer keyboard-driven workflows. mini.nvim is a collection of more than 40 small plugins for Neovim, all bundled into a single repository. Each plugin in the collection is independent: you can install the whole bundle and enable only the modules you want, or install individual modules as standalone repositories. The modules are grouped by what they do. Some improve text editing, adding shortcuts for commenting lines, surrounding text with brackets or quotes, aligning columns, auto-closing parentheses, and managing code snippets. Others improve general workflow, including a file browser, a fuzzy finder for opening files quickly, a plugin manager for handling other Neovim extensions, and tools for navigating through git changes inside the editor. There are also modules for the visual side of the editor: status line customization, tab bar display, code highlighting for indentation levels, and several color schemes. Each module is written in Lua, which is the language Neovim uses for its configuration and plugins. The modules follow a consistent design pattern, meaning they all configure the same way and behave predictably once you have learned one of them. The collection targets Neovim version 0.10 and newer. Installation can be done through several popular plugin managers for Neovim, or by cloning the repository directly using git. The project distributes both a development branch that gets updates continuously and a stable branch that only advances on formal releases. The project was previously hosted under a personal GitHub account and moved to a dedicated organization to improve long-term maintenance. Documentation is available per-module inside the repository, and the project website includes a full configuration example showing how multiple modules can be set up together.
