Vinimum¶ ↑

A minimal vim config file and plugins distribution.

The project aims to provide the minimum useful set of plugins avoid that ones which discourages using vim the way it is.

Installation¶ ↑

1. Basic package installation

   git clone https://github.com/spastorino/vinimum.gi://github.com/spastorino/vinimum.git .vim
   ls -s .vim/vimrc .vimrc
   cd .vim
   git submodule init
   git submodule update

2. Install ctags related things

   brew install ctags (or use the package manager you like/have)
   gem install gem-browse
   gem install gem-ctags
   gem ctags

3. Generate ctags for Ruby stdlib

   These are the right directories for rbenv
   cd ~/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/
   ctags -R *
   cd ~/.rbenv/versions/1.9.3/lib/ruby/1.9.1/
   ctags -R *

4. Create git hooks to automatically generate ctags on your projects

   cd ~
   mkdir -p .git/hooks

   create ctags file with the following content

   #!/bin/sh
   set -e
   trap "rm -f .git/tags.$$" EXIT
   ctags --tag-relative -Rf.git/tags.$$ --exclude=.git
   mv .git/tags.$$ .git/tags

   create post-commit file with the following content

   #!/bin/sh
   .git/hooks/ctags >/dev/null 2>&1 &

   generate post-checkout and post-merge with the same content

   cp post-commit post-checkout
   cp post-commit post-merge

   create post-rewrite file with the following content

   #!/bin/sh
   case "$1" in
    rebase) exec .git/hooks/post-merge ;;
   esac

   make the files executable

   chmod +x *

   config the templatedir and ctags alias

   git config --global init.templatedir '~/.git'
   git config --global alias.ctags '!.git/hooks/ctags'

   Use ‘git init` in existing repositories to copy these hooks in.
