    And you can also add a bash script to establish a Neovim distro (Neovide, NVChad, Astro, Lazy, Kickstart, etc.).

    astro-setup.sh

    Create a bash script file named astro-setup.sh that has content given below:

    mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak

mv ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/share/nvim.bak
mv ~/.local/state/nvim ~/.local/state/nvim.bak
mv ~/.cache/nvim ~/.cache/nvim.bak

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AstroNvim/template ~/.config/nvim
# remove template's git connection to set up your own later
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/.git
    Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

    Then just run the command:

    $ sh astro-setup.sh
    Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

    lazy-setup.sh 

    
# required
mv ~/.config/nvim{,.bak}

# optional but recommended
mv ~/.local/share/nvim{,.bak}
mv ~/.local/state/nvim{,.bak}
mv ~/.cache/nvim{,.bak}

# clone project
git clone https://github.com/LazyVim/starter ~/.config/nvim

# git remove
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/.git
    Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

    Use the same method in section astro-setup.sh.**
