Installation

Follow these steps to install vim plugins and config files:

Clone repository

  git clone git://github.com/nhbusch/dotvim.git ~/.vim

Note: On Windows, replace ~ with %HOME% or %USERPROFILE%.

Create symlinks

On Unix:

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

On Windows, assuming Vim is installed to C:\opt\vim

  mklink /H C:\opt\vim\_vimrc %USERPROFILE%\.vim\vimrc
  mklink /H C:\opt\vim\_gvimrc %USERPROFILE%\.vim\gvimrc

Note: if the personal runtime directory is assumed to be vimfiles, also create a symbolic link vimfiles pointing to %USERPROFILE%\.vim:

  mklink /J %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles %USERPROFILE%\.vim

Switch to the ~/.vim directory, and fetch submodules:

Get plugins

  cd ~/.vim
  git submodule init
  git submodule update
