VimSetup

This repo contains my personal Vim configuration for easy setup across multiple machines. It includes basic editor settings, plugins for improved functionality, and a theme for aesthetics.

Prerequisites

Before installing this Vim configuration, ensure you have Vim installed with support for asynchronous I/O, important for plugins like coc.nvim. You can verify Vim's features by running:

vim --version

Make sure +python3 and +job appears in the output.

Installation

1. Clone

Clone this repo into your home directory or any preferred location. For example:

git clone https://github.com/Dishpit/vimsetup.git ~/.vim

2. Install Vim-Plug

You'll need vim-plug to manage Vim plugins. Install it by running:

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

3. Link

Link the .vimrc file from the cloned repo to your home directory.

ln -s ~/.vim/.vimrc ~/.vimrc

4. Install Plugins

Open Vim, and install the plugins by running:

:PlugInstall

Updating

To update plugins, open Vim and run:

:PlugUpdate

Customizing

Feel free to customize the .vimrc file to suit your preferences. Add new plugins, change settings, and tweak the editor to make it your own. I'm providing this as an example of what works for me, so bear in mind everybody's different.

Issues

If you run into any problems with the config or have suggestions, please open an issue or a PR.
