How to port .vimrc to init.lua

Create an init.lua file in ~/.config/nvim/

For vim, you use the :set command, which in Lua is vim.o

vim.o.number = true -- in init.lua
:vim.o.number -- directly in nvim

To use other vim functions in lua

vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, "LineNr", { ctermfg = "LightBlue", })

The vim.cmd runs vimscript rather than lua in-built functions, so its slower

vim.cmd("colorscheme elflord")
vim.cmd.colorscheme(elflord) -- same as above
