To Install

(Re)move ~/.vim and ~/.vimrc if you have them already, and run:

git clone git://github.com/pivotalcommon/vim-config.git ~/.vim
cd ~/.vim
git submodule update --init
ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
vim +BundleInstall +qall

tmux support (optional)

If you will be using VIM with tmux for remote pairing or window management, see the README at https://github.com/pivotal/tmux-config

Custom "command-t" matcher for CtrlP

We use a custom matcher for CtrlP that makes it act similarly to CommandT. Run the following to install it.

cd ~/.vim/bundle/matcher
make && make install # or sudo make install if necessary

If you find yourself needing sudo, you might want to change the ownership of your /usr/local directory to the current user (for single-user machines only):

sudo chown -R $USER:admin /usr/local

Updating

First, fetch the latest vim-config via Git. You can also rebase or merge your own project-specific customizations.

To install the necessary bundles:

vim +BundleInstall +qall # or run :BundleInstall within Vim

To upgrade bundles to their latest version, use the bang version:

vim +BundleInstall! +qall # or run :BundleInstall! within Vim

If you're upgrading from a previous version that uses Pathogen instead of Vundle, you may need to do some one-time cleanup:

cd ~/.vim
rm -rf bundle
git submodule sync
git submodule update --init
vim +BundleInstall +qall
