Installation

You should read the script before executing it.

Plugins

I am using vim-plug.

• Add a plugin by adding a Plug line in vimrc, then add its description below.
• Update plugins with :PlugUpdate.
• Upgrade vim-plug from time to time with :PlugUpgrade.
• Remove a plugin by removing the line, running :PlugClean and removing the description from the README.md. Look for other mentions of the plugin in the repo by using ag.

How to try Vim

If you want to try Vim, just follow these steps:

1. Read Seven habits of effective text editing by Bram Moolenaar (Vim's main author)
2. Resist the urge to use a plugin or anyone else’s vimrc. Really.
3. Use vimtutor to learn the basics.
4. Along the way, add plugins and improve your .vimrc little by little, making sure you understand and comment all your options.
