About this course
The journey
Neovim is configured and extended in Lua, which makes it a great place to put your Lua skills to work. You will build three real plugins: a scratch-notes window, a project task runner and a small status-line component.
Along the way you learn the Neovim Lua API, buffers and windows, autocommands, user commands, testing plugins and publishing them for others to install.

The scratch-notes plugin is now on my GitHub and two colleagues use it. The headless testing chapter was the part I did not know I needed.
