Introduction

SpaceVim is a modular configuration for neovim and vim, here we call all of the modules layers, each layer has different plugins and config, users just need to select the layers they need. It got inspired by spacemacs. If you use SpaceVim, please star it on github. It's a great way of getting feedback and gives me the kick to put more time into development.

If you are new to vim, you should learning about Vim in general, read vim-galore.
