Setup

Before you get started: You probably want to fork this repo and work off your own copy of it.

Install a Patched Font

Before you get to cloning the repo, you’ll want to install a patched font so the vim-airline plugin looks right. You can find some pre-patched fonts in the powerline-fonts repo. You can read more about font patching in Powerline’s docs if none of the pre-patched ones suit your fancy. I’m using Source Code Pro in this repo so if you pick something else, be sure to update the vimrc file.

Install the_silver_searcher

The ag.vim plugin uses the_silver_searcher. You can install it via Homebrew, there's a package called the_silver_searcher.

Clone The Repo

1. git clone [your_vimfiles_repo] ~/.vim
2. cd ~/.vim
3. git submodule init
4. git submodule update
5. ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
6. ln -s ~/.vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc
7. Enjoy.

Making tweaks

You can find the vimrc file at ~/.vim/vimrc.
