The purpose of this repository is to make it easy to move my personal vim configuration from machine to machine.
The vim configuration file is typically located at ~/.vimrc. After cloning this repo to your home directory on a new machine, symlink the configuration file using the following command:
ln -s ~/vim/.vimrc ~/.vimrc
The -s option specifies a "soft" rather than "hard" link.
~/.vimrc is now symlinked and references ~/vim/.vimrc. Vim can now be configured as usual by running vim ~/.vimrc. The link can be removed like any file using rm.
