### Using `nix` CLI

If you would like to try out the configuration before even thinking about installing it, you can run the following command

to get a feel for the base configuration. The package exposes `.#nix` as the default package. You may use `.#nix`, `.#tidal` or `.#maximal` to get different configurations.
This will get you a feel for the base configuration and UI design. The flake exposes `#nix` as the default package, providing minimal language support and various
utilities.You may also use `#nix`, `#tidal` or `#maximal` to get try out different configurations.
It is as simple as changing the target output to get a different configuration. For example, to get a configuration with `tidal` support, run:

Similar instructions will apply for `nix profile install`.
Similar instructions will apply for `nix profile install`. However, you are recommended to instead use the module system as described in the manual.
P.S. The `maximal` configuration is _massive_ and will take a while to build. To get a feel for the configuration, use the default `nix` or `tidal` configurations.

> The `maximal` configuration is _massive_ and will take a while to build. To get a feel for the configuration, use the default `nix` or `tidal` configurations.
> Should you choose to try out the `maximal` configuration, using the binary cache as described in the manual is _strongly_ recommended.
### Docker
As of version 0.5, an image for the `nix` output is published to Dockerhub and GitHub packages with each tagged release. If you do not have Nix installed
on your system, you may run neovim within a container using your favorite tool.
The following command will open the current directory in neovim with necessary tools bootstrapped.
```console
docker run -v `pwd`:/home/neovim/demo --rm -it notashelf/neovim-flake:latest
```
The available registeres are `ghcr.io` and `dockerhub` for the time being. Adjust to your liking.

## Philosophy
The philosophy behind this flake configuration is to create an easily configurable and reproducible Neovim environment. While it does sacrifice in size
(which I know some users will find _disagreeable_), it offers a lot of flexibility and customizability in exchange for the large size of the flake inputs.
The KISS (Keep it simple, stupid) principle has been abandoned here, however, you _can_ ultimately leverage the flexibility of this flake to declare a configuration that follows KISS principles, it is very easy to bring your own plugins and configurations from non-nix. What this flake is meant to be does eventually fall into your hands. Whether you are a developer, writer, or live coder, you can quickly craft a config that suits every project's need. Think of it like a distributionof Neovim that takes advantage of pinning vim plugins and third party dependencies (such as tree-sitter grammars, language servers, and more).

One should never get a broken config when setting options. If setting multiple options results in a broken Neovim, file an issue! Each plugin knows when another plugin which allows for smart configuration of keybindings and automatic setup of things like completion sources and languages.

**Q**: Will you try to make this flake smaller?
<br/>
**A**: Yes. As a matter of fact, I am actively working on making this flake smaller. Unfortunately the process of providing everything possible by itself makes the flake large. Best I can do is to optimize the flake as much as possible by selecting plugins that are small and fast. And the binary cache, so at least you don't have to build it from source.

**Q**: Will you use a plugin manager/language server installer?
<br/>
**A**: No. If you feel the need to ask that question, then you have missed the whole point of using nix and ultimately this flake. The whole reason we use nix is to be able to handle EVERYTHING declaratively, well including the LSP and plugin installations.
