After cloning a ~/vim_config folder will be created. Run install.sh to complete instalation. What this does is : - creates a symlink ~/.vim/ -> ~/vim_config # folder used for plugins, docs and colorschemes - creates ~/.gvimrc which sources ~/vim_config/vimrc ( if it already exists, it will append the line at the end of the file) - creates ~/.vimrc which sources ~/vim_config/vimrc ( if it already exists, it will append the line at the end of the file) - finally it creates ~/.vim-tmp. This will be used to store files for persistent undo. Plugins included: - rails.vim - surround - taglist - YankRing - fugitive - vim-repeat - command-t These are the main plugins that I use regularly. For instructions on how to use these refer to the plugin's documentation. Feel free to fork this repository and change it as you please.
