Vim/iTerm2 Color Schemes

Here are some color schemes (created by other people) I've used for an extended period of time and like. I am keeping them here as a reference to share with others and make it easier for me to switch back in the future.

To get started, clone the repository to your machine and follow the steps for the color scheme you'd like to use.

$ git clone [e-mail]:chrishunt/color-schemes.git

To test that the color scheme is working as expected, run colorscheme.sh

$ bash colorscheme.sh
