My Vim Settings
Clone the repository to ~/.vim then create a ~/.vimrc with the following
contents.
source ~/.vim/vimrc
Alternatively on machines that support symlinks (not Windows) create a
symlink in your home directory called ~/.vimrc pointing to ~/.vim/vimrc
with the command:
$ ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
as this allows editing the file in with vim ~/.vimrc
If you are using a gui for vim then you will also want to create the
same file/symlink for .gvimrc
