A modular, multi-file Neovim configuration starter template for building a personal editor setup.
kickstart-modular.nvim is a modular, multi-file starter template for building a personal Neovim configuration. It forks the original kickstart.nvim to replace its single init.lua file with a structured, multi-file setup, providing a documented foundation that users can easily clone and extend. It solves the problem of creating a maintainable, well-organized Neovim config from scratch by offering a pre-configured, learnable base.
Neovim users, especially those transitioning from Vim or other editors, who want a clean, documented, and modular starting point for their custom configuration without the complexity of a full distribution.
Developers choose this over the original kickstart.nvim for its improved modularity and organization, making long-term maintenance and learning easier. Its thorough documentation and teaching-focused design help users understand and own their configuration rather than just using a black box.

Splits configuration into multiple files for better organization and maintainability, directly addressing the limitations of single-file setups as highlighted in the README's fork rationale.
Every part is extensively commented to serve as a learning tool, with the README emphasizing its role in teaching Neovim and Lua practices.
Uses Lazy.nvim for plugin handling, with a curated set pre-configured and instructions for adding more, as detailed in the post-installation steps.
Provides OS-specific installation guides for Linux, macOS, and Windows, including WSL, making setup accessible across environments.
Requires installing multiple tools like ripgrep, fd-find, and tree-sitter CLI, which can delay setup and fail on systems with limited permissions.
As a fork of kickstart.nvim, it may lag behind updates or bug fixes from the original repository, potentially introducing compatibility issues.
Lacks pre-configured advanced tools or themes found in full distributions, requiring users to manually add and configure extensions for complex workflows.
