goe13/vimrc

Repository files navigation

This is forked from (https://github.com/amix/vimrc). Source is Here

There are two versions:

  • The Basic: If you want something small just copy basic.vim into your ~/.vimrc and you will have a good basic setup
  • The Awesome: Includes a ton of useful plugins, color schemes, and configurations

I would, of course, recommend using the awesome version.

How to install the Awesome version?

The awesome version includes a lot of great plugins, configurations and color schemes that make Vim a lot better. To install it simply do following from your terminal:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/goe13/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_awesome_vimrc.sh

Fonts

I recommend using IBM Plex Mono font (it's an open-source and awesome font that can make your code beautiful). The Awesome vimrc is already setup to try to use it.

Some other fonts that Awesome will try to use:

How to install the Basic version?

The basic version is just one file and no plugins. Just copy basic.vim and paste it into your vimrc.

The basic version is useful to install on remote servers where you don't need many plugins, and you don't do many edits.

git clone --depth=1 git://github.com/goe13/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime
sh ~/.vim_runtime/install_basic_vimrc.sh

How to install on Windows?

Use msysgit to checkout the repository and run the installation instructions above. No special instructions needed ;-)

How to install on Linux

If you have vim aliased as vi instead of vim, make sure to either alias it: alias vi=vim. Otherwise, apt-get install vim

How to update to latest version?

Just do a git rebase!

cd ~/.vim_runtime
git pull --rebase

How to uninstall

Just do following:

  • Remove ~/.vim_runtime
  • Remove any lines that reference .vim_runtime in your ~/.vimrc
