.vimfiles

A collection of files for customizing my Vim environment.

All plugins for vim7 are managed by Pathogen by Tim Pope and the native package manager is used for vim8. Upgrade and installation instructions are detailed below.

Installation

To install this .vimrc, clone the repository to ~/.vim. Pass the recursive flag to ensure that all submodules are cloned as well.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/PhiloEpisteme/.vim ~/.vim

If you prefer to clone the repo elsewhere be sure to create a symlink to the new location to ~/.vim.

ln -s /path/to/.vim ~/.vim

Non linux/mac users should check the documentation for where vim looks for the vimrc file by default.

Plugins

Some plugins only work properly with a specific version of vim. All plugins which are supported by both vim7 and vim8 belong in the pack/my-packages/start/ directory. Plugins which only work with vim7 belong in the bundle/ directory. Packages which only work with vim8 should go in pack/my-packages/start/ directory and have their plugin name added to the pathogen_blacklist found in .vim7.vimrc.
