VIM settings

Here is my vim configuration file and with some instructions/commands I use regularly. It's beginner friendly so feel free to copy.

Instructions

Update Vim

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/vim
sudo apt update
sudo apt install vim

Copy vimrc file to $HOME. Rename it to .vimrc. This file contains all the plugins and settings. It's good to learn how to edit this file.

Vundle is a plugin manager for vim.
Vundle let's you specify a plugin in a number of formats, but my favorite allows you to grab plugins straight off of github, just specify the bundle in the following format:

Bundle 'githubUsername/repoName'

Vundle setup instructions

mkdir .vim
cd .vim
mkdir bundle
cd bundle
git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle
vim +PluginInstall +qall
cd YouCompleteMe
python install.py

Commands

Install plugins from terminal: vim +PluginInstall +qall
