ViMConfig

My personal ViM Configuration files

Getting the distribution

The easiestland probably only-way to get this distribution is by using git. Since the Vundle is a submodule of this repository, it is recommended that you clone recursively

git clone https://github.com/jlconlin/ViMConfig.git ~/.vim

Configure the configuration

Included with these configuration files are

• vimrc
• gvimrc

Plugins

Plugins are managed by vim-plug. If you cloned recursively then this should be available automatically.

Installing Plugins

Once the repository has been cloned and configured the plugins can be installed simply by executing:

vim +PlugInstall

as described by the installation procedures for vim-plug

I use the ryanoasis/vim-devicons plugin which requires that some fonts get installed. The easiest way to do this on MacOS is:

brew tap caskroom/fonts
brew cask install font-hack-nerd-font

For other systems see font-installation.

Building Plugins

There are some plugins that need to be built after they are installed. Here are the instructions for building each of them. Note: These instructions are for the Mac as that is the machine I use. These instructions may work for other platforms.

ViM Plugins used in this distribution

I use a number of different plugins. See Plug.vim for the different plugins that I use.
