About
This my vimrc setup. Keeping your vim setup in a Git repository is cool because you can track the changes you do to your set up, you can rollback if something goes wrong, you can branch and test new settings while keeping your base setup stable...
Also, pushing my vimrc to GitHub is nice because I have an online backup. In case I format my PC or want to install vim into a new computer, I just have to clone my repository and it's done.
There's another reason for pushing my vimrc setup online. You can share your setup with everybody, let people learn from what you're done. I like to browse other vimrc repos here at GitHub and learn from their experience. I know my vimrc setup is tiny and modest but I'm proud of it.
Requirements
It is tested under the following conditions:
- It works on UNIX and UNIX-like (GNU/Linux, *BSD, macOS...)
- I mostly use Vim 9.0 nowadays but it should work on Vim 8.2.
- Git is required to fetch the submodules
I haven't used Vim on Windows for a while so I don't know if it works.
Set up
Remember to pull the Git submodules.
git submodule init: will initialize after clone.git submodule update: will clone the submodules.git submodule update --remote: willñ pull latest updates.
Plugins
I use vim packs, which was added on Vim 8. As you can see, I am using gitmodules to handle my plugins, which allows me to pin a specific commit in case breaking changes happen.
The pack/ directory contains the plugins organized by concern. Inside the start/ directory of each concern there are gitmodules.
The configuration for each pack is also stored separately in the plugin/ folder, which has a similar directory structure grouping each config file by concern.
Disclaimer
This is MY vimrc setup and it is opinionated and made to work how I want. Anyone can download and use my vimrc, but unless you and me are the same person, you'll probably find things that you don't want. It is OK. Use this vimrc as a starting point for making your own.
Under no circumstances I am responsible for any kind of damage derived from the use of this vimrc on your machine. If you lose files, if your Vim install breaks, if something explodes. My vimrc comes with no warranties. Again; you shouldn't play with my toys if you don't want to get hurt. (This doesn't mean my vimrc will hurt you, you know, but this is legal boilerplate to cover my ass in case something happens).
