Thoughtbot Dotfiles magic: Vim versions
maxcodes opened this issue · comments
Hey Ben! I hope you're having a great day today.
I've run the dotfiles script and have been extremely happy with my newly found webdev machine. Only one issue is still bugging me:
It seems like my default vim is an older one, and I have the new one installed. I know because I want to run hybrid mode (both relativenumber and number enabled), which is supported only by >= 7.4, and I can't get it to work.
However, whenever I try to git commit -v, Vim 7.4 pops up (in hybrid number mode!) And if I type vim --version, it says I do have 7.4 installed.
What am I missing?
Not sure!
Maybe check which vim you're pointing at using which vim. You're probably
sometimes calling the old one, sometimes the new, based on what your
$PATH is at the time.

-Ben
which vim gives me /usr/local/bin/vim. Which I guess is expected? How can I make sure to always have the correct vim in $PATH? Can this be a "bug" in the dotfiles script?

Don't think so.
For your other questions, I'm not totally sure. This would probably be a good Stack Overflow question.
