Using this repo with Vim 8

Clone the repo as your ~/.vim directory

Clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:tjaartvdwalt/vimrc.git ~/.vim

Symlink vimrc

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

Installing packages

I use the vim 8, buit in package manager, with minpac. On first install, minpac needs to be manually cloned from its Git repo (minpac automatically updates itself in future)

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/minpac/opt
cd ~/.vim/pack/minpac/opt
git clone https://github.com/k-takata/minpac.git

For convenience I wrapped the minpac functions in commands :PackUpdate -> Installs/Updates packages :PackClean -> Deletes packages that have been removed from the configuration :PackStatus -> Shows the current status of installed packages
