git stash
git pull
git pop

Otherwise (no local changes):

git pull

Post-Install

Installing sumnkeo lua language server

If you haven't already, make sure that nii-nvim is on the latest commit. They you will want to run nvim. Behind the scenes, nvim will check for (and create if not present) a directory in ~/.local/share/nvim/lspservers. This is where you can install & manage lsp servers (with the added benefit of this directory being easily accessible with the nvim lua runtime).

  • To install the lua language server, clone the repo and follow build instructions.
git clone https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server ~/.local/share/nvim/lspservers/lua-language-server
# and do all of the build instructions required to have a binary
  • The lsp config files in nii-nvim should do the rest of the heavy lifting for you.
