Vim dotfiles

Usage

NOTE: If you have existing files in $HOME/.vim or $HOME/.vimrc, make sure you take appropriate backups before performing any of the following steps.

$ git clone https://git@github.com/chokosabe/vim-dotfiles.git ~/.vim && ln -s ~/.vim/.vimrc ~/.vimrc

Then install Vundle, as per their instructions:

$ git clone http://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle

• Next, get my vim-dotfiles & symlink the .vimrc to your $HOME/.vimrc:

• Finally, we need to launch Vim and then invoke the appropriate Vundle commands to install all of the bundles using the :BundleInstall command. When this is completed you'll need to build the C extension for the Command-T plugin plugin, which is a simple matter of cd'ing in to the command-t bundle folder and invoking rake make. I'm not quite sure if this process could somehow be automated with Vundle; if not, then that would be a fun addition to make to the project.

And that's it! Be sure to source your newly installed configuration (:source $MYVIMRC from inside Vim, or just restart a new editor session), and you should be good to go.

The included .vimrc contains some very minimal configurations that should be sane defaults for most developers, including a colorscheme that is pulled from one of the installed bundles. Feel free to modify at will, of course. See the comments in the .vimrc file for more details, and check out the individual bundles that are pulled in on github until I decide to annotate & comment on what each of them do.
