Vim configuration files

Vimconfig

This is my personal vim config, it uses 'pathogen' + 'git submodules' to manage the different plugins that are installed and being used.

To get started, after downloading just run the vimconfig/setup shellscript that will download all the extensions needed.

Install

$ git clone http://github.com/roman/vimconfig $HOME/.vim
$ cd $HOME/.vim 
$ ./setup

Folder Structure

• autoload/

  This folder will contain only the pathogen extension, that will allow to manage the vim plugins without to much hassle

• bundle/

  All the plugins are installed here as git submodules, in order to make the plugins work after clone, you should run the vimconfig/setup shellscript.

• colors/

  This folder will hold all the different colorschemes I've found so far over the webz the default one for terminal is wombat256, and the one for gvim is wombat.

• modules/

  This folder will contain all the basic setup of the plugins, organized by a different file for each of the plugins that is being configured, there is also some files that configure the basics of vim.

• tmp/

  A folder that will hold temporal metadata for the installed plugins
