## What it is
ThePrimeagen's personal Neovim configuration written in Lua, built publicly in a video series with a documented commit log. It serves as a reference for setting up a modern Neovim environment with plugins like fugitive, zenmode, and netrw tweaks.

## Use cases
- learn how to configure neovim in lua
- example neovim init.lua setup
- set up lsp and plugins in neovim
- migrate from vimrc to lua config
- copy a well-known neovim config as a starting point

## When to choose
- you want a real-world, video-documented Neovim Lua config to learn from
- you like ThePrimeagen's workflow and want to replicate it
- you need a reference for common Neovim plugin setups

## When to avoid
- you need a supported, maintained distribution like LazyVim or kickstart.nvim
- you want a config with a license or guaranteed updates
- you prefer a minimal config you fully understand from scratch

## Facets

- maturity: active
- function: editor, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools, tutorials
