tiny-mkpath.nvim
A tiny plugin for Neovim 0.12+ that automatically creates parent directories when saving a file.
Zero config. ~12 lines of Lua.
Features
- Auto-creates missing parent directories on save
- Skips remote URLs (e.g.
scp://,ftp://) - Works out of the box — no setup call required
Requirements
- Neovim >= 0.12
Installation
Add to your vim.pack.add() call:
"https://github.com/swaits/tiny-mkpath.nvim",
How it works
On BufWritePre, if the parent directory doesn't exist, it creates it
with mkdir -p semantics. So :w brand/new/path/file.lua just works.
