IDE

ide is an immutable development environment container image. It's main application is running neovim.

The following is a guide on how to run the container by using a pre-built Docker image hosted on Github Container Registry.

Install Docker and the Compose plugin

https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/

Clone the repository

git clone [email protected]:mgnsk/dotfiles.git dotfiles
cd dotfiles/ide

Add the absolute path to dotfiles/ide/bin directory to your PATH to use the ide executable script. After configuring PATH, verify the script is accessible by running which ide in a new terminal.

Run the container

Navigate to a project directory and run ide to enter the container. A bash shell starts in the current directory bind mounted into the container.

From there on, for example, you can continue by invoking nvim.

cd ~/Projects/project1
ide
nvim

An example using tmux would be to spawn a container in the projects root directory ~/Projects, running tmux and using each project in its own tmux window. Sometimes it is useful to use tmux inside a single project to run multiple instances of neovim for different parts of the project.
