There Be Wizards In Here!

My current vim setup.

Inspired by gtanner's vim config. Uses Pathogen. See Bundles.

Requirements

• Vim
• Git
• NodeJS/NPM
• Ack

Installation

 # clone the repo into a local directory of your choice (~ used in this example)
 cd ~
 git clone git://github.com/fourq/vim-settings.git
 ln -s vim-settings/.vimrc
 ln -s vim-settings/.vim
 cd vim-settings
 ./configure

Submodules

This setup uses several git repositories as submodules. The configure script sets up the submodules for you initially but you might need/want to pull the latest versions of each submodule at some point. To pull them all at once use the command below.

 # cd to install directory (~/vim-settings for this example)
 cd ~/vim-settings
 git submodule foreach git pull

Adding Custom Commands Per Directory

If you have a .vim.custom file in the CWD, it will be evaluated (last).
