Installation
git clone git://github.com/gilesgardam/dotvim.git ~/.vim
Create a symlink
ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
Where possible, I've installed plugins as git submodules.
cd ~/.vim
git submodule update --init
For the backup and swap files, you need to either
mkdkir ~/tmp
or change the vimrc to taste.
Abbreviations go in plugin/abbreviations.vim.
Any tips or tricks you want to remember go in notes.txt.
Settings local to the particular machine go in plugin/local.vim.
