Problem: Tests may leave leftover files around
Solution: Clean up tests and remove files
There were a few failures in 'linux (huge, gcc, testgui, true, true)'
e.g. here: https://github.com/vim/vim/actions/runs/5497376153/jobs/10018060156

Which is puzzling, because the Xtest_stable_xxd file should have been
long gone after test_crypt.vim is run (and definitely no longer be
staying around in test_quickfix.vim).
So try to clean up properly after a test script is run, just in case any
X<file> is still around. During testing, a found a few leftover files,
which I also fixed in the relevant test-file.
Unfortunately, the test workflow 'linux (huge, gcc, testgui, true,
true)' now seems to fail with 'E1230: Encryption: sodium_mlock()' in
test_crypt.vim. Hopefully this is only temporary.

Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
See the Building Neovim wiki page and supported platforms for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
