Installation

git clone git://github.com/pellaeon/Dotfiles.git

Where possible, Vim plugins are installed as git submodules. Check these out by running the commands:

cd Dotfiles
git submodule init
git submodule update

Create symlinks:

ln -s ~/Dotfiles/bashrc ~/.bashrc
ln -s ~/Dotfiles/vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -s ~/Dotfiles/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc
ln -s ~/Dotfiles/irbrc ~/.irbrc
ln -s ~/Dotfiles/vim ~/.vim
ln -s ~/Dotfiles/ctags ~/.ctags
ln -s ~/Dotfiles/jshintrc ~/.jshintrc

VIM

My preferences for Vim are stored in Dotfiles/vimrc and Dotfiles/gvimrc respectively. All plugins and scripts are stored in the Dotfiles/vim directory.

Adding Plugin Bundles

Plugins that are published on github can be installed as submodules. For example, to install the JavaScript bundle, follow these steps:

cd ~/Dotfiles
git submodule add http://github.com/pangloss/vim-javascript.git vim/bundle/vim-javascript

This will update the .gitmodules file by appending something like:

[submodule "vim/bundle/vim-javascript"]
    path = vim/bundle/vim-javascript
    url = http://github.com/pangloss/vim-javascript.git

As well as checkout out the git repo into the vim/bundle/vim-javascript directory. You can then commit these changes as follows:

git add .
git ci -m "Added the javascript bundle"
