Introduction

Have you ever found yourself adding multiple dependencies to your code before installing them?Do you hate switching between your editor and terminal just to install libs? 🤔

LazyDeveloperHelper solves this problem! It's a Neovim plugin that lets you manage dependencies for:

  • Python — via pip / poetry
  • Rust — via Cargo
  • Kotlin / Groovy — via Gradle + Maven Central
  • JavaScript — via npm
  • C++ — via NuGet / Conan / vcpkg (vim.ui.select to pick between them)
  • C — via Conan
  • Ruby — via gem
  • Lua — via luarocks
  • Golang — via go install
  • Dart — via Dart CLI

...all directly from your editor. No terminal switching required.
