Installation instructions

Clone to ~/.vim

Linux:

git clone git@github.com:jclsn/vimconfig.git ~/.vim
ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

Windows:

git clone git@github.com:jclsn/vimconfig.git $HOME\vimfiles

Vim reads ~/vimfiles/vimrc by itself. Make sure there is no ~/_vimrc, it takes precedence.

Install vim-plug

Linux:

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Windows:

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim |`
    ni $HOME/vimfiles/autoload/plug.vim -Force

Sharing config and plugins with the root user

Copy .vimrc to /root/.vimrc and create undodir

sudo cp ~/.vim/vimrc /root/.vimrc
sudo mkdir -p /root/.vim/undodir

A copied vimrc falls back to /home/jan/.vim. Point it to your own config

me=$(whoami); sudo sed -i "s|'/home/jan/.vim'|'/home/${me}/.vim'|" /root/.vimrc

Then install vim-plug as root

sudo curl -fLo /root/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
