id.app.nvim config

Personal Neovim configuration built on top of LazyVim, tuned for security research, lab work, writeups, and fast note-taking.

This repository is meant to be the source of truth for ~/.config/nvim across machines.

𖦏 Focus 𖣠

This setup is optimized for a security / hacking workflow rather than general-purpose editing.

• Markdown-first note taking for boxes, challenges, and research logs
• Zettelkasten-style note creation with zk
• HTB / lab templates for enumeration, post-exploitation, and privesc notes
• Python templates for validation-oriented CVE / PoC work
• Terminal-heavy workflows with fast splits, fzf, and search-first navigation
• Language tooling centered on Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, and Nim

The bias is toward speed, structured notes, reproducible commands, and lightweight PoC scaffolding.

🛠 Requirements

• Neovim >= 0.9 (recommended: latest stable)
• Git
• A Nerd Font (recommended for icons)
• ripgrep (rg)
• fd (or fdfind depending on distro)
• fzf (for workflows/plugins that use it)

➤ Install 🖧

git clone https://github.com/identityapproved/id.app.nvim.git ~/.config/nvim
nvim

On first start, Lazy will install plugins automatically.

Or clone anywhere and run the installer:

git clone https://github.com/identityapproved/id.app.nvim.git ~/id.app.nvim
cd ~/id.app.nvim
./install.sh

Setup script:

./install.sh

➜] Link Existing Repo to ~/.config/nvim

If you keep this repo somewhere else on disk and want to link it:

mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak
ln -sfn /path/to/id.app.nvim ~/.config/nvim

Preferred script-based link:

./install.sh

Useful flags:

./install.sh --dry-run
./install.sh --force
./install.sh --target ~/.config/nvim

Then start Neovim:

nvim

🗘 Update Plugins

Inside Neovim:

• :Lazy sync
• :Lazy check

Headless equivalents:

nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa
nvim --headless "+Lazy! check" +qa

⋮ ⌗ ┆ Repo Layout

• init.lua: Neovim entrypoint
• lua/config/: core config (options, keymaps, autocmds, bootstrap)
• lua/plugins/: plugin specs and plugin-specific setup
• templates/: reusable note and code templates, including security and HTB workflows
• snippets/: custom snippets
• lazy-lock.json: pinned plugin versions

☕︎‧₊˚⏱ Workflow Highlights ٠࣪⋆₊˚ᵎ

Notes and writeups

• Markdown buffers can insert note templates with <leader>it
• Markdown buffers can insert callout snippets with <leader>ic
• zk is used for zettel-style note management
• <leader>zn creates a new note through a prompt

Focus mode

• <leader>zm toggles Zen Mode

Security templates

The repo includes reusable templates for:

• HTB / lab note sections
• Linux post-foothold and privesc checklists
• Docker group / sg enumeration notes
• Python CVE / research PoC skeletons
• HTTP, SSRF, LFI, SQLi, SSTI, IDOR, upload, race, and WebSocket validation templates

(˘ŏ_ŏ) Troubleshooting

If plugins look broken after changes:

nvim --headless "+Lazy! restore" +qa
nvim --headless "+checkhealth" +qa

If needed, remove local plugin/cache state and reopen Neovim. Warning: this deletes local Neovim cache/state and will force a full plugin reinstall on next start.

rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.local/state/nvim ~/.cache/nvim
nvim
