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!

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.
