Importing

If you're going to use this repo for your own vim environment then this is probably the section you want.

• Optionally, save your existing .vimrc: cp .vimrc{,-save}
• mkdir .vim
• cd .vim
• git init
• git remote add origin https://github.com/mattpep/vimrc.git
• git pull origin main
• git submodule init
• git submodule update
• cd ..
• ln -sf .vim/vimrc .vimrc
• Optionally add your previous saved config: cat ~/.vimrc-save >> ~/.vimrc

Staying up to date

With me

Do this: git submodule update --init to update all of them, and add any new ones since your last update

With one or more submodules

Because I use git submodules, you might run into a situation where you need to update one of the submodules which I haven't yet myself updated.

• git submodule foreach git pull to update all of them
• cd bundle/pluginname && git pull origin master to update one of them

Initial setup

These are the steps I used to create the initial setup of a git-managed vim config. You can use these if you want to track your own vim config but don't want to use mine as a starting point.

• cd .vim
• mv ../.vimrc vimrc
• git init
• git add *
• git commit -m "First commit"
• `git remote add origin git@github.com:mattpep/vimrc.git
• git push origin main
• ln -s vimrc ../.vimrc
