my vim confs and at some point maybe others

my vim confs and other such so I can get to them easily

The files are kept unhidden (that is without dots in front of their names) to make them easier to find on the filesystem

FIRST

vim wont find the plugins properly if you dont put them where it can. also remember ALWAYS USE FULL PATH. symlinks almost never work correctly with relative paths. i.e.

ln -s full/path/to/repo/folder/name/bundle /home/<user_name>/.vim/bundle

Installations

to use a file: ln -s a/file/in/this/repo/filename /proper/place/on/system/.filename

###!WARNING

after making a symlink always visit the destination and use ls -all

• a) to make sure the link was created correctly
• b) if the OS is being fucking retarded about making the correct link do a pwd and use the full path to make link

updating this repo

say if a person was kind enough to have their plugin in a git repo. since we are using pathogen we can simply do

git submodule add [e-mail]:flazz/vim-colorschemes.git vimfiles/bundle/colorschemes

in the top level directory for instance and add that repo to the fun

updating current and newly aded submodules

(8-27-2020): this is deprecated. I should remove the submodules in favor of subtrees git submodule init && git submodule update && git submodule foreach git pull origin master
