My "dot vim" (~/.vim
) dir.
- Great starting point for using Vim for editing source code in many programming languages.
- Easy to extend: all plugins are loaded with Vundle.
- Fold-able, well-commented vimrc file.
- Lots of great ideas and some terrible ones!
Here's how to install this Vim configuration. Assumes Bash shell and a POSIX operating system.
cd ~
mv .vim .vimrc /tmp
ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc .vimrc
git clone https://github.com/meonkeys/dotvim.git .vim
cd .vim
Plugins are managed with Vundle. Install Vundle:
git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle
Start Vim and run :PluginInstall
. If you are using Ubuntu, exit Vim and run ubuntu-setup
from Bash for additional plugin setup.
Plugins are enumerated in vimrc
. See the vundle documentation in :help vundle
or online for further
Only install the vim-gtk
package (via apt) on Ubuntu 18.04. Other Vim-related packages may muck up ruby support. If update-alternatives
points to the wrong one you won't get +ruby
and Command-T won't work.
For GNU/Linux operating systems besides Ubuntu, follow the Fontconfig instructions here. General info about integrating vim-airline with fancy fonts here.
- TODO automate nvm and node install
