dotvim

NOTE: make a backup of ~/.vimrc, ~/.vim, ~/.gvimrc etc. For example

What about this?

mv ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc.bkup
mv ~/.vim ~/.vim.bkup
mv ~/.gvimrc ~/.gvimrc.bkup

Installation

1. git clone https://github.com/netpoetica/dotvim.git
2. cd dotvim
3. git submodule init
4. git submodule update
5. Backup any existing VIM configuration
6. ./install

Note: install script will create a ~/.vim/swaps and ~/.vim/backups dir (if they dont exist) in order to keep swap files centralized.

Note: after adding any new pathogen plugins, be sure to run :Helptags to generate help docs. See: http://usevim.com/2012/12/21/vim-101-help-tags

Additionally, you can add ignore = dirty to individual modules who have helptags generated.

Additional Deps

In order to use ctags with tagbar plugin, you'll also need to install the following:

brew install ctags-exuberant
// See: http://majutsushi.github.io/tagbar/

go get -u github.com/jstemmer/gotags
// See: https://github.com/jstemmer/gotags

In order to use syntastic, syntax checkers for appropriate languages must be installed. See https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic/wiki/Syntax-Checkers for example syntax checkers. I usually use:

npm install -g jshint
npm install -g jscs

You can see what checkers are available by running :SyntasticInfo from vim. Additionally, you can manually run a checker using :SyntasticCheck jscs, with jscs for example.

How to Install a New Plugin

git submodule add https://github.com/<USER>/<REPO>.git bundle/<REPO>
