Adding new neovim to nixpkgs

Hello there (better late than never),

this is the way i do it

  1. Update the vim-plugin-names file
  2. Install the vim-plugins-updater via
    nix-shell -I nixpkgs=channel:nixpkgs-unstable -p vimPluginsUpdater
    
  3. Run the following inside the repository root:
    vim-plugins-updater
    

Note: This will also create a commit for you

If it complains about HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests, ..., you’ll have to create a github token

and run

export GITHUB_API_TOKEN=your_token

before running the vim-plugins-updater command
