Saw this video on YouTube and decided to clone the dotfiles from 'linkarzu/dotfiles-latest'.

New Trick: How to Clone Only a Subdirectory of a Git Repository?

Approach 1: Using Sparse Checkout

Sparse checkout allows you to check out only part of the working directory. This is particularly useful for large repositories where you only need a specific subdirectory.

Step 1: Initialize the Repository

First, clone the repository with the –no-checkout option to avoid checking out the files immediately.

git clone --no-checkout <repository-url>
cd <repository-directory>

Step 2: Enable Sparse Checkout

Configure Git to enable sparse checkout.

git sparse-checkout init

Step 3: Define the Subdirectory

Specify the subdirectory you want to clone. For example, if you want to clone the docs subdirectory:

git sparse-checkout set docs

Step 4: Checkout the Subdirectory

Now, checkout the repository. Only the specified subdirectory will be checked out.

git checkout main

Replace main with the appropriate branch name if it differs.

The current folder is C:Users/Alowr/dotfiles-latest/

Run git pull to update from the remote repository regularly so that you could use the most recent updates from the original author.

Copy and paste dotfiles/neovim/neobean folder to your Neovim configuration

Modify PowerShell Profile to configure Neovim selection menu

Run nvims index.md and select neobean in the pop-up menu. Neobeon will install this configuration automatically, but likely with some errors dependent on your internet connections.

Not sure why errors happen. This is still a problem now. Theme not loaded correctly.

Configurations

:Lazy

This command pops up the Lazy.vim configuration. You can Install or Update the plugins.

:e $MYVIMRC

This command turns out not very useful, as the config is modularized. Most of settings are not in this init.lua file at all.

:Neotree

This command opens the sidebar on the left side. But how to turn the sidebar off?

This is a test a auto wrap to see if a super long tine would wrap itself automatically and this is not happening at all.

Features

• Auto save
• Spell checks
• Auto format is NOT working
• Markdown styles in headers

Problems

In Command-Line mode, the cursor is flashy. But this appears to be fixed after disabling/enabling the notice.nvim plugin. Scroll with mouse is not very smooth and appears jumpy. Moving with keyboard works well though. Appears to have been fixed as well.
