Setup Macvim for Maximum awesomeness
January 03, 2014
I have been using Vim for almost 5 years now. For some time, I even
switched to Sublime text2 but I am finally back home. Well, the
following guide is only for macs. Sorry GVIM users!
Here is the latest screenshot of my macvim: As you can see, it has a nice Filebrowser that is way more clean and
intuitive than NERDTree. ## installation First and foremost down this build of Macvim from alloy’s fork:
Macvim
Unzip it and then put the Macvim. app
into your applications
. Follow these instructions to have the same in your Mac. First of all do this: ```sh
Git clone Git@GitHub. com: vinitkumar/.Vim. Git
git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle
cd. Vim
cp vimrc ~/.vimrc
cp vimrc. before ~/.vimrc. before
cp vimrc. bundles ~/.vimrc. bundles
Vim +BundleInstall +qall
Install the peepopen app from here: [Peepopen](http://topfunky. GitHub. io/PeepOpen/).
When installed open peepopen and set MacVim as your default editor. Once you are done with these steps you have a super awesome development
IDE optimised for Python/JS/Ruby development. ##Credits Credit must be given to [@alloy](http://GitHub. com/alloy) and
[@topfunky](http://twitter. com/topfunky) for creating these wonderful
addons to Vim. Happy hacking!
