.vim

My Vim setup.

Installation

Clone this repository into home directory:

$ cd
$ git clone https://github.com/gpneuma/dot_vim

Move the contents of dot_vim to .vim (including the git files)

[Bash]
$ mv dot_vim/.[!.]* .vim

[Zsh]
$ mv dot_vim/*(DN) .vim/

Copy the vimrc file into the home directory

$ cp .vim/vimrc .vimrc

Workflow Dependencies

There are few external dependencies that my workflow has.

Ack

This plugin requires the ack command line utililty and/or The Silver Searcher. On my mac, these are both installed via homebrew:

$ brew install ack
$ brew install the_silver_searcher

Exuberant Ctags

Exuberant Ctags is better than the default ctag installation on MacOS. I install it via homebrew:

$ brew install ctags

I don't use the Easy Tags plugin at the moment so the tags are generated on a per project basis by entering the project root directory and running ctags:

$ cd ~/source/aview
$ ctags -R

Plugins

Oopen vim (you'll get a warning that the color scheme isn't installed, but that is okay). Install the plugins within Vim with:

:PlugInstall

If you want to reload your current vim session with the newly installed plugins (ie. you have a bunch of files open that you don't want to reopen)

:so ~/.vimrc
