ViM To Go

Deploy your custom ViM setup and keep it up to date everywhere.

Quickstart

Installation

git clone https://github.com/sepen/vimtogo
cd vimtogo
chmod +x vimtogo
./vimtogo install

Usage

Usage: ./vimtogo [install|update] <option>
Where options for commands are:
  install
  -k, --ssl-no-verify   No verify SSL certs for HTTPS connections
  -f, --force           Force installation. This will overwrite exinting files
  -b, --backup          Save existing stuff by renaming to .bk extension

Install more plugins

For example to add vim-airline plugin to your setup:

vim togo/vim-airline

Then put these contents:

""" vim-airline
""" https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline
let g:airline#extensions#tabline#enabled=1

The two first lines are mandatory, indicating:

  • plugin name
  • git repo location from where clone and or update sources

After that you can add all desired option settings. For example:

let g:airline#extensions#tabline#enabled=1

Then run the installation again that will re-install all default plugins and will add vim-airline:

./vimtogo install --force

To have an example of a complete setup take a look of my own branch:
https://github.com/sepen/vimtogo/blob/sepen/togo/

Customization

Fork the repository

My idea is to keep the most common setup in master branch and add a branch for each customization. In this way, you can fork my repository and create one branch with your name that meets your needs.

Merge changes from upstream repository

Then from time to time you can merge upstream changes from my repository to your fork.

If you need more help on how to fork to merge upstream changes then take a look to these links:
https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/
https://help.github.com/articles/merging-an-upstream-repository-into-your-fork/

Merge changes from master branch

Also you can merge from master branch but keep some local work (for example your vimrc):

git merge -s ours origin/master

Then if you want to see differences:

git diff master

To discard changes on a file

git checkout master vimtogo/vimrc
