That’s what I’ve tried to add to my config:
let
nixvim = import (builtins.fetchGit {
url = "https://github.com/nix-community/nixvim";
# When using a different channel you can use `ref = "nixos-<version>"` to set it here
});
in
That’s the Error:

I have followed the installation instructions for Nixvim as described in the official documentation. What am I doing wrong?
You may need to share your whole config.nix before someone can really say for sure how correct the syntax, but:
The error message indicates that you’re trying to use let after a semicolon, and a semicolon terminates each key-value pair in an attrset. If you’re in an attrset, nix is expecting either a key (some_identifier = or the end of the attrset (}) to come next.

The let statement itself works now. Importing it to the config doesn’t…

builtins is part of the nix language, not a module argument, remove it from the parameters on line one
