dotfile for vim

This repo contains a vimrc file that I use for my development work. The current collection contains vimrc file for go development with autocomplete. It is tested with vim 8.1 and golang 1.13 for autocompletion using gopls implementation of Language Server Protocol. The current vimrc is tested on vim 8.1.1900 on MacOS 10.14.4 and Ubuntu 18.04 with golang 1.13

Backup existing configuration

Backup your existing vimrc file before changing or overwriting it.

cp ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc.bak

Install vim-plug to manage vim plugins

Current vimrc file needs vim-plug which can be downloaded and installed from vim-plug, it also requires vim 8.1, nodejs and gopls for autocomplete.

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Install vim plugins and settings file

Once vim-plug is installed, you can copy vimrc as .vimrc in your home directory and do the following.

vim +PlugInstall 
vim +GoInstallBinaries
cp coc-settings.json ~/.vim/

This will install vim plugins, install go binaries necessary and copy coc-settings.json to use gopls language server.

Want to do a trial using vagrant to customize?
