.vim

My vim dotfiles, the .vimrc is saved to vimrc. Run the following commands to get set up:

$ cd ~/
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/roaldnefs/.vim.git .vim
$ cd $HOME/.vim
$ make install

Make sure you don't have a $HOME/.vimrc file present, as this takes precedence over $HOME/.vim/vimrc

Based upon jessfraz/.vim.

Pathogen

The vim dotfiles make used of Pathogen runtime path manager to install plugins and runtime files into their own private directories.
