My Vim configuration files
Some people in the comments of this article and this article requested my vimrc file. Rather than just providing it, I think it is better to check it into a source repository so people can get the latest version. You can get all my Vim files here:
I prefer to keep the vimrc and gvimrc in the vim folder, then symlink them to my home folder. I think this keeps things more organized. The commands are (on a *nix system):
ln -s ~/vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc ln -s ~/vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc
I mod these files all the time, and sometimes I break stuff, however I usually fix them quickly as Vim is my main editor. Here are a few things to note:
- My main platforms are OS X and Linux (Debian based in command-line, not XWindows), so if your platform differs you may have issues (most likely not)
- I'm using the latest version of Vim, and my config expects it
- Somethings require ruby to be compiled into Vim (this is default in MacVim), however there are no major errors if it isn't, as I use these Vim files all the time in vanilla Vim
Let me know if you find any problems, or there is a better way to do something that I did, I'm always interested in learning more about Vim. Happy coding.

Thanks for sharing the files and your color scheme is awesome. It is so comfortable on my poor eyes.
Thank you so much!!

The link to git hub repository doesn't, do you have any other link where your "vimrc" is uploaded?
can't thank you enough!! :)
I got a mac,
I embraced your terminal IR_black theme (lovin it!), and also wanted it for my vim,
I didn't have a ~/.vim dir nor the .vimrc and .gvimrc files at all, so I just created it all and copied your settings from the repository you gave above, again lots of thanks.
I got one question, after doing this all, I'm getting this warning when opening vim:
"
Error detected while processing /Users/<myusername>/.vimrc:
line 100:
E28: No such highlight group name: LongLineWarning
"
how can I fix it?
(assuming I want this line length formatting warning to be set)
@yaar. You'll need to have it defined in the ir_*.vim files inside of etc/colors folder.
I did the following (which works):
mkdir ~/sources; cd ~/sources;
git checkout git://github.com/twerth/dotfiles.git
cd ..
ln -s ~/sources/dotfiles/etc/vim ~/.vim/
ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
ln -s ~/.vim/gvimrc ~/.gvimrc
@Olmo
I am having the same problem as yaar.
Your solution seems perfectly logic, but I'm stuck at the git part
I installed git-core through sudo port install git-core
but when I run git checkout git://github.com/twerth/dotfiles.git it tells me:
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
so I run git init in the ~/sources dir, run the checkout commang again and then it tells me:
error: pathspec 'git:/github.com/twerth/dotfiles.git' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Thanks in advance for helping me out here.
