README

This is the repo for my vim dotfile management.

Installation:

The easiest method is to use this gist.

If you'd rather build everything by hand follow these instructions:

git clone git@github.com:geopet/dotvim.git ~/.vim

Create symlinks:

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -s ~/.vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc

cd ~/.vim
git submodule update --init

Upgrade submodule plugins:

Single plugin:

cd ~/.vim/bundle/[plugin_to_be_updated]
git pull origin master

All submodule plugins:

cd ~/.vim
git submodule foreach git pull origin master

Install instructions shamelessly taken from Vimcasts Episode 27.

Adding new plugins

1. Find the plugin you want (ideally on GitHub).
2. Depending on the type of resource run the Git submodule add command: i.e. $ git submodule add git://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic.git bundle/syntastic
