Vim Configurations

Set Up

Back up your old configs. :)

mv ~/.vim ~/.vimbak
mv ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc.bak
mv ~/.gvimrc ~/.gvimrc.bak

Clone the repository. git clone https://github.com/flarnie/dotvim ~/.vim
Create symlinks to the nested .vimrc and .gvimrc directories.

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -s ~/.vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc

Pull down the submodules: git submodule init git submodule update
Make sure the syntastic checkers are installed: SCSS-Lint JSX-Hint

Install fzf for fuzzy find. install with homebrew

Managing Plugins

Add a plugin git submodule add https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround.git bundle/surround

Remove a plugin from StackOverflow post

git submodule deinit asubmodule
git rm asubmodule
rm -rf .git/modules/asubmodule

Note: This depends on using git version 1.8.5.

Getting Solarized To Work on Mac

The solarized theme will not "just work" with the default mac terminal in my experience. Here is what I've done to get it working when I use Vim in the terminal;

Set up iterm2, zsh, and oh-my-zsh.1
Set up the solarized colors for iterm2. Now when you open Vim it should "just work" with the solarized theme.

Plugins

WIP documenting which plugins are used and why.
