Alternative method to git clone submodule on iPadOS

[bao3]

1. install iVim , we need to reboot the iPadOS 14.0+ to create “iVim” folder automatically.
2. install iSH app, run apk add git in the iSH app.
3. mount the “iVim” to the iSH , the command is mount -t ios iVim /mnt , then select the iVim folder in the pop up window .
4. in the iSH command line , run :

cd /mnt
git clone --recurse-submodules  https://github.com/brettc/ivim.git

5. then as Getting Going in the 5th step , echo “source ~/ivim/vimrc” > /mnt/.vimrc ( you could also run vi /mnt/.vimrc in iSH app)

Ok that’s all

I followed the steps here exactly. When I then attempt to edit files, I get this error…

vim-stay error E739: Cannot create directory: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/6CBA11C4-655E-4B24-8E5D-E1F88802E8E2/Documents/.vim/view

Something to do with vim-stay/FastFold apparently. Even when I delete iVim and install fresh, this error appears. Surely you’ve encountered the same?
