ARCHIVED: I am gradually moving my personal projects to Fossil.

My Vim setup

My own Vim configuration. Some features:

• Foldable and thoroughly commented vimrc.
• Loads in way less than 50ms.
• Put your customizations into vimrc_local.
• Move freely between Vim and tmux using ⌥-h/j/k/l (plugin-free, requires some configuration in tmux, too).
• 40-column cheat sheet always two keys away (courtesy of Cheat40).
• Handcrafted, collapsible, fully customizable, "plugin-free" status line (let Vim spend a few tens of microseconds on updating the status line rather than the several milliseconds that plugins “as light as air” need). It used to support Powerline fonts up to commit ca915737, when I decided that simple is better (and Powerline fonts are an ugly hack anyway).
• Uses Zeef, aka wise man's CtrlP.
• Distraction-free mode (courtesy of Goyo and Limelight).
• Etc... (read the cheat sheet and the source!)

Requirements

• A fairly recent Vim (7.4 or later) (brew install vim recommended on macOS).

Recommended:

• Vim 8.
• Exuberant ctags;
• A fuzzy finder, one among fzf (only the executable, not the Vim plugin), fzy, pick, selecta, or skim;
• ripgrep.

Installation

    cd ~
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/lifepillar/vimrc.git .vim
    cd .vim
    chmod 700 ./tmp ./tmp/{backup,swap,undo}
    git checkout -b local
    # We use shallow submodules; --remote makes sure we are able to check them out:
    git submodule update --init --remote
    # Commit changes (needed only if there are changes):
    git commit -a -m "Git submodule update --remote."

Update

    cd ~/.vim
    git checkout master
    git pull origin master
    git submodule sync
    git submodule update --init --recursive
    git checkout local
    git rebase master

…and fix conflicts.

Update plugins and colorschemes

Make sure the repo is in a clean state.

    git submodule update --remote --depth 1
    git commit -a
    git submodule update --recursive # Optional, only if there are plugins with submodules

How to add a new plugin or colorscheme

To add a plugin Foo from https://repo/foo.git:

    git submodule add --name foo --depth 1 https://repo/foo.git pack/bundle/start/foo
    git config -f .gitmodules submodule.foo.shallow true
    git add .gitmodules
    git commit

To add Foo as an optional plugin, change start with opt (it works if Vim has packages, otherwise you also have to add the plugin to g:pathogen_blacklist).

To add a color scheme, change bundle/start with bundle/opt (create the directory if it does not exist).
