Preconfigured environment problems

[Thanatermesis]

Im trying to have a preconfigured vim, so I placed all the needed files in /etc/skel so that when a new user is created, a default vim configuration is set, it includes Vundle plugins and they simply works correctly

But there's only a small problem with this, if the user run :PluginInstall, an error about "git clone.... destination path already exists and is not empty" message is shown, seems like vim needs to know somewhere that these plugins are already installed to not try to install them again, where this mark is set? why not just check if the dir has files?

Hi @Thanatermesis, it seems that the directories aren't recognized as a git repository. Could you check the bundle directories for .git files, and try to run git status in one of the directories?

My guess is that the .git folder hasn't been copied correctly.
