Quick Windows 10 Install with gVIM

Install Vundle

• git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git $HOME/vimfiles/bundle/Vundle.vim (deprecated)
• git clone https://github.com/muhammedabdelkader/VundleVim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

To find location of all vimrc file(s) and order of operation

This may come in handy when trying to figure out where vim looks to execute .vimrc

• vim --version | grep vimrc (to get path of all vimrc files) Note: Output will be different when executed from Terminal versus from gVIM app

For Linux , .vimrc usually lives under ~/.vimrc For Windows, _vimrc usually lives under $HOME

Depending on the output of the command above

Pull repo and copy _vimrc to $HOME

• git clone https://github.com/davidclin/vim.git
• cd vim
• cp _vimrc $HOME_vimrc (tip: use Notepad if you're unable to edit the file using other programs then copy file to $HOME_vimrc)

Install VIM plugins

• launch gVIM
• :PluginList
• :PluginInstall
• :PluginUpdate
