This is a simple plugin for Vim that will allow you to have a set of templates for certain file types. It is useful to add boilerplate code like guards in C/C++ headers, or license disclaimers.
The easiest way to install the plugin is to install it as a bundle. For example, using Pathogen:
- Get and install pathogen.vim. You can skip this step if you already have it installed.
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/aperezdc/vim-template.git
Bundle installs are known to work fine also when using Vundle. Other bundle managers are expected to work as well.
Important
If you use Fish as your shell, you will need to add
set shell=/bin/sh
to your ~/.vimrc
— the plugin relies on the
setting pointing to a Bourne-compatible shell.
The documentation can be browsed directly in Vim:
:help template.txt
Alternatively, you can also read it in your browser.
In order to update the plugin, go to its bundle directory and use Git to update it:
cd ~/.vim/bundle/vim-template
git pull
Use the :BundleUpdate
command provided by Vundle, for example invoking
Vim like this:
% vim +BundleUpdate
