CBase

CBase is a Vim plugin designed to quickly insert a starter template for C programming exercises, specifically tailored for 42 School projects.

Features

• Inserts a clean and minimal C starter template at line 14 (after you insert the header):

#include <unistd.h>

int     main(void)
{
        return (0);
}

• Saves time when setting up repetitive C programming exercises.

Installation

Using vim-plug

Add a vim-plug section to your ~/.vimrc (or ~/.config/nvim/init.vim for Neovim)

1. Begin the section with call plug#begin()
2. List the plugins with Plug commands
3. End the section with call plug#end()

For example,

call plug#begin()

" List your plugins here
Plug 'JsExpertCoder/cbase'

call plug#end()

Reload the file or restart Vim, then you can,

• :PlugInstall to install the plugins
• :PlugUpdate to install or update the plugins
• :PlugDiff to review the changes from the last update
• :PlugClean to remove plugins no longer in the list

Manual Installation

1. Open your terminal:

   Open a terminal window on your system.

2. Download the plugin repository:

   Run the following command in the terminal to download the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/JsExpertCoder/cbase.git

3. Move the plugin to the Vim runtime path:

   Copy the cbase folder into the ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/ directory:

   mv cbase ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/

   For Neovim, use this directory instead:

   mv cbase ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/plugins/start/

4. Restart Vim or Neovim:

   Close and reopen Vim or Neovim to load the plugin automatically.

Usage

1. Insert the Header: Press F1 or run : StdHeader to insert your 42 School project header.
2. Insert the Template:

• Press F2 to insert the C starter template.

• Alternatively, run the command:

:Cbase

Notes

• Ensure that your header is inserted first to maintain 42 School coding standards.
• This plugin assumes the C code starts after line 14 (common for projects at 42 School).
