Malaney's vimrc (Fork of vgod's vimrc https://github.com/vgod/vimrc)

Author: Malaney J. Hill malaney@gmail.com

This vimrc compiles some of the best ideas I've seen in vimrc's across the net including Tobias Schlitt's VIM integration for PHP and other's. It relies heavily on Tim Pope's Pathogen plugin to facilitate inclusion of all plugins within their own sub-directories within the "~/.vim/bundle" sub-directory.

HOW TO INSTALL

0. Backup your original ~/.vim and ~/.vimrc $ mv ~/.vim ~/.vimbkup && mv ~/.vimrc ~/vimrc.bak && ~/.gvimrc ~/gvimrc.bak

1. Check out from github

    $ git clone git://github.com/malaney/vimrc.git ~/.vim
    $ cd ~/.vim
    $ sh install-vimrc.sh
   

2. (Optional, if you want Command-T) Compile the Command-T plugin

    $ cd .vim/bundle/command-t/ruby/command-t
    $ ruby extconf.rb
    $ make
   

WORKING WITH PLUGIN BUNDLES

To add a bundle - git submodule add <git/repo/url> bundle/ - git submodule update --init - git commit To remove a bundle - Remove from .gitmodules - git rm --cached bundle/ - git commit To upgrade bundle - cd bundle/ - git pull

UPGRADE PLUGIN BUNDLES

All plugins (except vim-latex) were checked out as git submodules, which can be upgraded with git pull. For example, to upgrade Command-T

 $ cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t
 $ git pull

HOW TO USE

see the "USEFUL SHORTCUTS" section in vimrc to learn my shortcuts.
