# A (not so(but still quite))simple vim config
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
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.
## Installation:
### 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 --recurse-submodules
