my personal vim configuration
This is my git repository for my vim configuration.
To use it: 1. clone the repository to ~/.vim 2. symlink your .vimrc to ~/.vim/vimrc with the following command: ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc .vimrc
Some notes and warnings about my configuration
I have commented most settings in the vimrc file
Swap- and backupfiles
My vimrc disables all the swapfiles and backupfiles. Personally I think they are just annoying and vim (almost :)) never crashes so I simply disable them. If you don't trust this, you should remove the corresponding lines from the vimrc. You have been warned :)!
Vim-Plug
Plugins are managed with vim-plug: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug
After cloning this repository run :PlugInstall inside Vim or vim +PlugInstall in your shell to install all the plugins
host-specific vimrc
As I use my vim configuration on multiple machines, I like to be able to make small configuration changes for every machine, while still keeping everything together and synced (with git). That's why, at the end of my vimrc, a check is performed to see if a 'host-specific' vimrc can be found. If so, it is also sourced. So if the hostname of your machine is 'andoria', my vimrc checks for ~/.vim/vimrc-andoria. If this file exists it sources it only on that machine, to allow you to set host-specific settings.
