Ascribe.vim

The Vim implementation of Ascribe: a simpler alternative to EditorConfig.

Ascribe is a standard for software development tools (specifically editors) to retrieve and handle useful information about various files within a project through the .gitattributes file already found in many software projects.

By using the .gitattributes file, Ascribe keeps all information about the files in a project in a single place. Ascribe extensions (such as this one) tend to be much smaller, faster and simpler than their EditorConfig counterparts.

Note
Ascribe.vim is unmaintained. Since both Vim and Neovim now come with included EditorConfig support, I see no reason to continue maintaining Ascribe.

Installation

Before installation it is highly recommended to read all of the Ascribe documentation (it's not very long). The docs will teach you how to use .gitattributes files and all of the default attributes handled by Ascribe.

Installation of Ascribe.vim can be performed by using your preferred plugin/package management tool(s). If you don’t have a Vim package manager I recommend using Vim 8 packages.

Just run these 2 commands from your shell.

git clone https://github.com/axvr/ascribe.vim ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/ascribe
vim +'helptags ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/ascribe/doc/' +q

Once installed, be sure to check out the Ascribe.vim manual (run :help ascribe.txt to open it) for information on how to configure this plugin.
