Vim

This repository contains my constantly evolving (hopefully) vim setup.

Getting started

Vim 7.4+:

1. Clone this repository into ~/.vim on Linux or ~/vimfiles on Windows.
2. Launch vim and run the Ex command :BundleInstall

NOTICE: The bundle YouCompleteMe is a plugin with a compiled component. For this to work you need to install it manually by following the Instructions for your platform.

Vim older than including 7.3:

For older versions, Vim needs a link to use the vimrc in ~/.vim on Linux or ~/vimfiles on Windows. However there seem to be problems with this solution on Windows. Therefore it's better to create a ~/_vimrc file with the following line.

source ~/vimfiles/vimrc

After that you can follow the exact same steps as for Vim 7.4+ versions.

How does this work

The main idea behind the management of this configuration is possible through the use of the bundle manager Vundle. Plugins/Bundles for vim from github or vim-scripts.org only need to be listed in the vimrc and will be installed by Vundle with the Ex command :BundleInstall. Apart from that everything else is configuration of standard vim and plugins.
