My .vim and vimrc setup.

cd ~
git clone --recursive https://github.com/kirklewis/dotvim.git ~/.vim

Add a symbolic link to .vimrc so Vim can find it.

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

The vimrc file is structured as follows:

• Tim Pope's Pathogen at the top to install plugins.

• Default color scheme - Solarized

• Settings and mappings (sourced) from settings.vim and mappings.vim respectively. Keeps the vimrc file shorter.

• Auto commands at the bottom. File types are sourced from filetypes.vim

Just a few of many:

• No swap files *.swp or backup files generated.

• Visual block kept after indentation mappings.vim.

• NERDTree shows hidden folders/files except .git and .DS_Store.

• Trailing spaces highlighted by default. :StripWhiteSpace.

• GitGutter enabled by default and Signify (for SVN, Mercurial) is not. Use :SignifyToggle and :GitGutterToggle to enable or disable either.
