Usage

In your home directory (Linux or Mac), run:

mv ~/.vim ~/vim_old # backup your old .vim folder
git clone git://github.com/akitaonrails/vimfiles.git ~/.vim

mv ~/.vimrc ~/vimrc_old
mv ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

If you’re using Windows do the following under C:\Documents and Settings\Your_User

git clone git://github.com/akitaonrails/vimfiles.git vimfiles
move vimfiles\vimrc _vimrc
copy vimfiles\snippets.vim.win32 vimfiles\after\plugin\snippets.vim

Still on Windows, edit your _vimrc to replace this line:

set guifont=Monaco:h13

for this one:

set guifont=Consolas:h13

Monaco is for Mac, Consolas is for Windows. Under Linux better try “Bitstream Vera Sans Mono”
