This is My Vim Config. There Are Many Like It, But This One is Mine.

Dotfiles, inlcuding my .vimrc, are managed with git and symlinks. Vim plugins are handled with Pathogen and git-submodules.

See also my Vagrant Ubuntu Node VM and environment provisioning scripts that include other goodies like vifm, tig, etc...

(running on both Ubuntu and OS X, YMMV on other systems)

Clone dot files

cd ~/ && \
git clone https://github.com/kwaledesign/dotfiles.git

Install pathogen pathogen - (manages the runtime path of the plugins)

mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle && \
curl -LSso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim

Symlink .vimrc file and bundle directory

ln -s ./dotfiles/vim/.vimrc && \
ln -s ~/dotfiles/vim/.vim/bundle/* ~/.vim/bundle/

pull and update git submodules (vim plugins)

cd dotfiles/vim/.vim/bundle/ && \
git submodule update --init && \
git submodule foreach git pull origin master && \
cd

Oh My Zsh!

sh -c "$(wget https://raw.github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh -O -)"

symlink .zshrc

mv .zshrc .zshrc.old && \
ln -s ~/dotfiles/zsh/.zshrc

Yankring Plugin Config (needs a tmp/file with read/write permissions)

mkdir ~/.vim/tmp && \
cd ~/.vim/tmp/ && \
mkdir yankring-tmp/ && \
cd yankring-tmp && \
touch yankring_history_v2.txt && \
cd

Set permissions on the tmp/ directory (YMMV, I'm using vagrant...)

sudo chown vagrant ~/.vim/tmp && \
sudo chmod 777 -R ~/vim/tmp
