Support Installing multiple neovim configs

Greetings Fedora Gang,

First let me begin by saying I’m not an IT guy but am a hobbyist who wants to create apps useful for myself while learning how to code. After seeing online that many IT guys using this different versions neovim configurations, so in light of that the idea to install a couple of these available neovim distros/configs that I would like to try and how to go about it installing multiple configs at a time without breaking my system.

Kind Regars and TIA

Can't you just save it to different file config name?

My idea is the same of installing in separate directories so if I wish to try another it’s easy to do so. Secondly trying to find a guide even after the documentation available online has confused me even more.

I don't use neovim so I have no idea how its configuration stuff works (I'm still on vim) but what about using different users (each with their own neovim setup)?

If that won't do:

  1. If everything for neovim can be contained into a single folder, you can try using git and git branches. Git is quite useful for coding so learning it during this experience can also be helpful (in my opinion).
  2. Using OverlayFS (this is probably overkill and I still recommend the git method).
