Personal vim configuration

This is my personal vim configuration, not recommended for use by anyone.

But, if you insist...

Installation

First backup your current ~/.vim folder, and ~/.vimrc/~/.gvimrc (or if you're on Windows, ~\vimfiles and ~\_vimrc/~\_gvimrc). This way if anything doesn't work, no harm is done.

In the following, Windows people should convert ~/.vim to ~\vimfiles, and ~/.vimrc to ~\_vimrc, and ~/.gvimrc to ~\_gvimrc.

Now, clone this repository:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/jpeoples/dotvim.git ~/.vim

and set up your ~/.vimrc and ~/.gvimrc as symlinks to the corresponding files in the repository (on Linux):

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

or on Windows, with a terminal open as administrator (why you need to be an admin to make a freaking symlink is beyond me :( ), navigate to your home folder and do:

mklink _vimrc vimfiles\vimrc
mklink _gvimrc vimfiles\gvimrc
