Configuring Vim

👋 Welcome, I can show you how to configure vim to make it look prettier and improve file browsing. You will also find tips on how to set up your .vimrc file plugins.vim file

1. Making Vim Prettier. Inside your .vim directory make a directory called “colors”

   cd ~/.vim
   mkdir colors
   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gosukiwi/vim-atom-dark/master/colors/atom-dark-256.vim

2. Your .vimrc file. Paste this code in your .vimrc file

3. Then do

   touch .vim/plugins.vim

4. Install a plugin manager like Vundle

   git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

5. Then in your ~/.vim/plugins.vim file. Paste this code inside plugins.vim. Then install the plugins using this command inside the ~/.vim/plugins.vim file

   :PluginInstall

   This should install all your plugins

6. Download ctags Then type this in the project you want to be searchable. You might have to create a tags/ directory in your project

   ctags -R

   I hope this helps
