This is my personal vim configuration.
I personally don't like to work with IDEs and that's reflected in how minimal this configuration is.
Clone this repository to ~/.vim
and create a symbolic link between the
included vimrc
file and ~/.vimrc
.
On Linux/OS X:
git clone https://github.com/livcarman/vimrc.git ~/.vim
ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
On Windows 10 (using PowerShell):
git clone https://github.com/livcarman/vimrc.git $HOME\.vim
cmd /c mklink /h $HOME\_vimrc $HOME\.vim\vimrc
The plugins are managed by vim-plug.
Run :PlugInstall
inside vim to install them. You can update them at any
time with :PlugUpdate
.
This configuration will attempt to set Hack as vim's font, falling back to the system's default fonts if Hack is not available. You should use a version of Hack that's been patched for Powerline, available here.
Hack is not a hard dependency -- this is purely cosmetic.
Things more or less just work on Windows, but getting color schemes to work properly is a bit of a nightmare. I highly suggest that you use Git Bash to run vim, which is part of Git for Windows.
Colors will display properly in Git Bash, but will not in PowerShell, cmder, the standard command prompt, and all the other usual suspects..
