dotvim

An organic Vim configuration.

This is more or less a representation of my ~/.vim directory. A symlink can be used to reference the vimrc.vim file.

In general, I'd recommend against blindly copying a vimrc, unless you're just experimenting. However, poking around the configuration to get inspiration for your own vimrc is a great use of time.

Note that you may need to install/patch some fonts in order to make use of Lokaltog/vim-powerline.

Installing

First, clone the project:

cd
git clone --recursive https://github.com/voithos/dotvim.git .vim

Next, create the symlink for vimrc (or copy, if you're on Windows):

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

If you're on a *nix system, you'll need the patched fonts. You can either copy them to your current user's fonts directory:

cp ~/.vim/fonts/*.otf ~/.fonts/

Or copy them to a system-wide location (such as /usr/local/share/fonts/):

[sudo] cp ~/.vim/fonts/*.otf /usr/local/share/fonts/

As a side point, if you'd like to have the same Vim setup for root, you can simply symlink your .vimrc and .vim directory to /root (you'll also need to have the fonts installed system-wide):

[sudo] ln -s ~/.vimrc /root/.vimrc
[sudo] ln -s ~/.vim /root/.vim

Finally, just start up Vim, and NeoBundle will prompt you to install your plugins.

Success!
