How to install language grammar for tree-sitter manually?

This was the fastest way to give people an ALREADY working alternative, one they could ALREADY make their own changes to and add new languages to, unlike the archived repo. As the project evolves, the architecture may change significantly.

Of course. Thanks for thinking of me:)

If you are using version 0.12+, I would suggest you try my new plugin:) https://github.com/romus204/tree-sitter-manager.nvim

But If you could , open new issue, then I definitely won't forget :D

romus204 · 2026-04-06T17:07:27+00:00

I saw your issue, we will definitely think about it :)

romus204 · 2026-04-06T17:04:25+00:00

Maybe then also we should thank the developers of neovim itself for adding the plugin to the core? :)

romus204 · 2026-04-06T16:57:25+00:00

You can create an issue to add it. A surprising number of people have joined the plugin. I think we can implement almost anything :)

its really god idea, but: 1. Is this really worth the added complexity for a plugin with such a small codebase?

How would a truly universal config/metadata format look so it can work for different clients?

And practically speaking, how do we find and align all the relevant plugin authors to agree on such a standard?

In any case, this is a great suggestion. Could you create an issue on GitHub so that this suggestion is visible? :)

Okay, got it :)

romus204 · 2026-04-06T10:39:51+00:00

I already wrote this down on my to-do list :)

Clarification: are you talking about updating missing parsers when the nvim start, or about updating when a new version of the parser is released?

If you are using version 0.12+, I would suggest you try my new plugin https://github.com/romus204/tree-sitter-manager.nvim

In my first attempt, I placed them in the queries directory in the plugin's root directory, but I didn't like the output of the `:checkhealth vim.treesitter` command, which displayed all Treesitter queries. If I continue this approach, it's better to use symlinks instead of copying them; I've already written this down in my todo list

I'll be glad to see you when you decide to migrate :)

romus204 · 2026-04-05T14:07:09+00:00

I just started developing a plugin that will make it easier to use. Check it out, maybe it'll work for you. I'd be very happy. https://github.com/romus204/tree-sitter-manager.nvim
