Development Setup

1. Install Rustup: https://www.rustup.rs/

2. Use the stable rust compiler.

rustup install stable
rustup default stable

2. Fetch the plugin.

$ git clone https://github.com/hardliner66/neovim-twitch-chat

3. Build the binary portion of the plugin.

$ cd neovim-twitch-chat
$ cargo build --release

4. Test it out in a fresh instance of Neovim.

nvim -u ./init.vim --noplugin -c ":TwitchChatConnect"
