-Installation:
+# A (not so(but still quite))simple vim config
 
-    git clone git://github.com/nelstrom/dotvim.git ~/.vim
+This setup is a vim config using pathogen for the plugins and mannaged via git.
+You can find the complete documentation for pathogen here : https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen
 
-Create symlinks:
+Next are a few usefull informations that I mainly wrote for me to remember but that should allow you
+to use the same setup as me if you want to.
 
-    ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/vimrc
+## Installation:
 
-Switch to the `~/.vim` directory, and fetch submodules:
+### Clone the respository 
+
+this will create a .vim folder in your main folder, containing all the vim config
+
+    git clone https://github.com/Steins7/Vim ~/.vim
+
+note : if want to adapt this setup to your taste (and I think you will) you should create your own 
+github repository and use my setup as a base for it. 
+
+    (yep I'm too lazy to explain how to do that, but there should be plenty of people who will explain 
+    it better that me)
+
+### Create symlinks
+
+for vim to be able to get to your your config, you'll need to create a *symbolic link*.
+not sure if it is still needed, but in case, here is the command:
+
+    ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
+
+### Switch to the `~/.vim` directory, and fetch submodules:
+
+this is needed in order to make sure everything is up to date
 
     cd ~/.vim
     git submodule init
     git submodule update
+
+## Install a new plugin:
+
+its really simple, just cd to the bundle folder:
+
+	cd ~/.vim/bundle
+
+there you can put the files of the plugin you want. The most clean way to do that is to add a submodule :
+
+    git submodule add the_url_of_github_repository
+
+## Update your plugins
+
+if you used submodules to install your plugins, that's reallly simple :
+
+    git pull --recuser-submodules
+
