A (not so(but still quite))simple vim config

This setup is a vim config using pathogen for the plugins and mannaged via git. You can find the complete documentation for pathogen here : https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen

Next are a few usefull informations that I mainly wrote for me to remember but that should allow you to use the same setup as me if you want to.

Installation:

Clone the respository

this will create a .vim folder in your main folder, containing all the vim config

git clone https://github.com/Steins7/Vim ~/.vim

note : if want to adapt this setup to your taste (and I think you will) you should create your own github repository and use my setup as a base for it.

(yep I'm too lazy to explain how to do that, but there should be plenty of people who will explain 
it better that me)

Create symlinks

for vim to be able to get to your your config, you'll need to create a symbolic link. not sure if it is still needed, but in case, here is the command:

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

Switch to the ~/.vim directory, and fetch submodules:

this is needed in order to make sure everything is up to date

cd ~/.vim
git submodule init
git submodule update

Install a new plugin:

its really simple, just cd to the bundle folder:

cd ~/.vim/bundle

there you can put the files of the plugin you want. The most clean way to do that is to add a submodule :

git submodule add the_url_of_github_repository

Update your plugins

if you used submodules to install your plugins, that's reallly simple :

git pull --recurse-submodules
