re-vim: sensible vim configuration

★ Single file, just download it then fire up your nvim/vim!

★ Well polished, should work on Mac, Linux and Windows.

★ Full Language Server Protocol support(node.js required).

★ Easy to maintain and extend, to fulfill your needs.

Get started

Download .vimrc file, put it in your home directory. Run vim as usual, it can handle itself quite well.

Tips for Linux & macOS users(install & update):

curl -Lo ~/.vimrc https://j.mp/re-vim

Need neovim support?

ln ~/.vimrc ~/.config/nvim/init.vim

If on Windows, run these in Command Prompt:

mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\nvim"
mklink "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\nvim\init.vim" "%USERPROFILE%\.vimrc"

Customization

re-vim uses ~/.vim/vimrc.after (and ~/.vim/vimrc.before) for your customization.

For example, to override the default colorscheme:

echo "colorscheme one" >> ~/.vim/vimrc.after

To enable true color support:

echo "set termguicolors" >> ~/.vim/vimrc.after

To add new plugins, you should create ~/.vim/vimrc.plug:

echo "Plug 'altercation/vim-colors-solarized'" >> ~/.vim/vimrc.plug
