Vim configuration

My vim configuration changes overtime. After watching a Luke Smith's video about polluting your home directory with hidden folders or files, I decided to move NVim/Vim configuration to ~/.config/vim. In this way you get a cleaner and tidy home.

My vimrc

There are some vars that should be modified before starting the installation.

" Create the path for holding the swp files
set backupdir=~/.vimswp
set directory=~/.vimswp


" Set your path
let $GOPATH = ""
