# Source Original vimrc When Using Neovim
|
|
|
|
If you install [Neovim](https://neovim.io/) and open up a new `nvim` session,
|
|
you might notice that none of your carefully crafted `~/.vimrc` configuration
|
|
is taking effect.
|
|
|
|
This is because the `~/.vimrc` file is not part of Neovim's default
|
|
`runtimepath` (see `:h runtimepath` for details on what is included).
|
|
|
|
For custom user-land configuration of your Neovim sessions, you should start
|
|
with an `init.vim` file. For Mac users, it will likely be placed in
|
|
`~/.config/nvim/`. To be sure where it belongs, you can run `:echo
|
|
stdpath('config')`.
|
|
|
|
In that file, you can add any Neovim-specific configuration. You can also take
|
|
the opportunity to source your `~/.vimrc` file so that you get all those
|
|
configurations. These lines will do the trick.
|
|
|
|
```vimrc
|
|
if filereadable(expand('~/.vimrc'))
|
|
source ~/.vimrc
|
|
endif
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Things tend to be backward compatible, so you aren't likely to run into issues
|
|
with what's in your `~/.vimrc`. At any rate, it is a good starting point for
|
|
getting back to a familiar configuration.
|
|
|
|
See `:h nvim` for more details about how to transition.
