Question: Is there an example of kickstart separated in multiple files?

[jjuel]

So this is definitely not an issue. I am just trying to separate Kickstart out into multiple files, and not having some success but some things are still not working. Does anyone have a working example of it split into multiple files? I am going to keep working, but just wanted to see if there were examples so I could see where I am going wrong.

Hi there!

This is SUCH a common question, we should really add it to the README or maybe create an FAQ.

If you've reached the point where you want a modular configuration, please consider forking kickstart and modularizing yourself, or alternatively, others have already done this. You can search our issues if you like.

Kickstart is designed for a particular type of Neovim user - the TOTAL newcomer who just wants to get going. Once you've reached the point of "This is inelegant. Let's refactor!" - then you've reached the stage where the stock configuration may not be for you.

Thanks for the issue. I'm closing it for now.

The answer is already in the README, FAQ section:

https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim?tab=readme-ov-file#faq

Why is the kickstart init.lua a single file? Wouldn't it make sense to split it into multiple files?
The main purpose of kickstart is to serve as a teaching tool and a reference configuration that someone can easily use to git clone as a basis for their own. As you progress in learning Neovim and Lua, you might consider splitting init.lua into smaller parts. A fork of kickstart that does this while maintaining the same functionality is available here:
kickstart-modular.nvim

Yeah my bad on this. Failed to read the FAQ and now look like an idiot. I apologize, and thank you for the help.

No worries! Happens to all of us :)
