vim-config

Recommendation

I recommend using https://github.com/fatih/vim-go by Faith Aslan.

An attempt to automate the installation of all the vim plugins and scripts I find useful for my Go development, based on Martin Angers @PuerkitoBio's blog. These include;

1. Tpope's amazing pathogen
2. The Go Vim tools which come with your Go installation
3. Nsf's gocode Go completion tool
4. Townk's vim-autoclose for closing pair symbols (){},etc
5. scrooloose's NerdTree tree explorer
6. scrooloose's syntastic syntax checking plugin
7. Majutsushi's Tagbar tag browser
8. Ervandew's SuperTab for tab completion
9. Tpope's vim-sensible acceptable defaults for vim
10. Altercation's vim-colors-solarized colorscheme.
11. Nico Raffo's Conque run interactive commands inside vim buffer.

NOTE: The install script backs up your vimrc and .vim directories to ~/.vim.old and ~/.vimrc.old.

Prerequisites

1. Go installed following the official instructions (including exporting GOPATH and GOROOT).
2. Gotags

Installation

The /PATH/TO/REPOS argument specifies where the various plugin sources wiil be cloned to and must be an absolute PATH.

0. mkdir /PATH/TO/REPOS/github.com/ttousai && cd /PATH/TO/REPOS/github.com/ttousai
1. git clone git://github.com/ttousai/vim-config
2. cd vim-config
3. ./install.sh /PATH/TO/REPOS

NOTE: Step 1 is critical, the install script requires the github.com/ttousai part, of course this can be changed in the script :).

Uninstall

Before uninstalling please make sure to backup any new things you've added to the .vim/autoload and .vim/bundle directory. These instructions assume you kept your backups from the installation (.vimrc.old and .vim).

To uninstall just do the following,

1. rm -v ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim
2. rm -rfv ~/.vim/bundle
3. rm -v ~/.vimrc && mv ~/.vimrc.old ~/.vimrc

optionally

4. rm -rfv ~/.vim && mv ~/.vim.old ~/.vim
5. Remove all cloned plugin code in /PATH/TO/REPOS

Personalization

I have separated all my personal configuration into the file plugin/default.vim and plugin/keybindings.vim. These includes keybindings and templates for golang and perl.

Also the file plugin/go.vim, contains configurations specific to go

Solarized

I have included a shell script solarized-gnome-term.sh, from this post. I found it helpful when my solarize color scheme was not running out of the box.
