Swap In and First Boot

Keep what you have#

mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.backup

Nothing is destroyed — you can put it back at any time.

Clone the finished editor#

git clone https://github.com/KishoreNewton/vim-course ~/vim-course
cp -r ~/vim-course/nvim ~/.config/nvim

First boot#

The first nvim after this does several things at once, and it looks alarming if you do not expect it:

1. the lazy.nvim bootstrap clones the plugin manager
2. lazy reads lua/plugins/ and installs every spec
3. lazy-lock.json pins each one to a known-good commit
4. Mason installs the language servers
5. Treesitter compiles its parsers

Let it finish. :Lazy and :Mason show the state once it settles.

Because of the lockfile you get the same versions as the recording, not whatever shipped this morning.
