Conversation
Rework the ordering and create a single command for all deps. Add additional detail on compiler, minimal installs, etc.

Overall looks good, though we might be able to simplify this a bit. I'm pretty sure that if gcc is available (through mingw) it can be used by nvim-treesitter instead of msvc. BTW, sorry for the delay |
Not OP but, the main branch of nvim-treesitter doesn't seem to be able to configure compilers' orders, as it relies on |

Right. The I'll see if I can step through all the scenarios to see what we like the best. |

I tried to go minimal and maximal in my approach with the collapsed regions. I wanted to try to appease different audiences. The change could very well be to add two pieces of software ( e.g.
visualstudio2026buildtools visualstudio2026-workload-vctoolsto item 2 under the mainchoco install -y neovim...command.It is unfortunate a little there is a year in the software name and it would grow stale. Maybe there could be a blurb on how to install it? It is a pretty hard dependency for
tree-sitteron Windows from what I can tell. Other options likeMSYS2and Git Bash are substantially more complicated and the users in those environments are probably fairly aware of the tool chain as it is. Having the singlechoco installcommand to get all the software in one shot is important for adoption, I think?Thanks for letting me contribute. Open to any suggestions. :-)
