A Personal Vim Config

I got really tired of setting this up every time I worked in a new dev environment, so I joined the great tradition of people checking Vim configs into source control. Yay.

Hey, we're all opinionated, and we all like different things. This is what I like.

This is my default, go-to Vim environment. It's maybe not completely full-featured, but, whatever. Works on my machine for me.

Using It

If you really wanna use some rando's vim config, knock yourself out.

It's based off pathogen, so you'll wanna install that thing first. I don't have pathogen copied into this repo because there's no real licensing on it in the original repo. Didn't feel right to copy code into this.

Once pathogen is installed, pull down the repo into your .vim directory, fetch the submodules, and symlink the .vimrc into your home dir:

git clone git@github.com:seanwedig/vim-config.git ~/.vim
cd ~/.vim
git submodule update --init --recursive
ln -s  ln -s ~/.vim/.vimrc ~/.vimrc

Silly Colors

There's a collection of silly colorscheme plugins that result in randomly- selected colorschemes, picked from something like 970+ colorschemes. It's silly and a lot of fun.

However, to make that work properly, you'll want a terminal with more colors. Doing something like export TERM=xterm-256colors makes the CSApprox plugin happy so that the color-approximated GVim colorschemes work nicely.
