I am very new to nvim in general, and lately I have been trying to see if I can get configured to work better for rust programming (simple stuff, like proper language highlights, automatic formatting, if not too much work have rust-analyzer to sometimes check what is being done once in a while). I tried to check online what people post about this subject, and more often than not I am lead to guides and explanations that clearly do not work with the more recent versions of nvim. And in some cases, they shove so many plugins that I lose count (and many times tried to change stuff like init.lua just to end up with a broken install).

So my questions are:

• What options can be used by nvim itself that makes it more suitable for rust development (excluding plugins)?
• If plugins must be used to have more advanced features, what are they and what are the best practices to add them to nvim?

Anybody know what's going on?

Haven’t seen much exposure to this awesome plugin, even on reddit it seems that it’s not so well known, so i wanted to share it. It’s basically a git-log replacement integrated with neovim(and fugitive) that updates automatically(or manually) whenever you do any changes to your git repository. Really useful to get a overall picture of what’s going on in a repo. Or for debugging git branch problems etc.
