Super Awesome Vim Files (tm)

Essentially a slimmed down Janus, managed with Pathogen. See below for a list of plugins, customizations and color schemes.

Installing

If on Mac OS X

Install MacVim if you want it (you should)!!

brew install macvim # you better be using homebrew *shakes fist*

Otherwise, you're set.

If on another OS

Have some flavour of Ruby installed
Install gvim with your favorite package manager (optional)
Install rake ([sudo] gem install rake)

Then...

curl https://raw.github.com/codykrieger/dotvim/master/bootstrap.sh -o - | sh

In most cases, that'll do it!

Ignoring documentation content in submodules

Run this bad boy in your ~/.vim folder:

git submodule -q foreach 'echo "git config submodule.$path.ignore untracked"'

Copy the lines it outputs, and paste them into your terminal. No more annoyingness in git status!

Problem???

If you encounter an error like the following when attempting to run vim or gvim:

Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV...

Then see the Command-T section at the bottom of the readme, or just uncomment lines 2-4 in the vimrc file to disable Command-T.

Command-T

If you take a look at the first four or so lines of the vimrc, you'll notice that I've told Pathogen to disable loading Command-T on non-Mac OS X systems. This is because you'll end up with the following error unless you perform some trickery:

Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV...

That means your vim/gvim was compiled with Ruby, but setup.sh compiled Command-T with a different version of Ruby. To fix this, you'll need to find the version of Ruby your vim/gvim was compiled against ([vim|gvim] --version and sift through the output), install that, rubygems, and rake, and then do one of these:

cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t
/path/to/your/rake/binary make

Then run vim/gvim again, and you should be okay! If not...forget about Command-T.
