My dot files - customized preferences for Vim, Shell (Bash and Zsh) & Git

$ git clone git://github.com/uarun/dotfiles.git

Where possible, Vim plugins are installed as git submodules. Check these out by running the commands:

$ cd dotfiles
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Create symlinks:

$ cd dotfiles
$ ./setup.bash

Vim preferences are stored in dotfiles/vimrc respectively. All plugins and scripts are stored in the dotfiles/vim directory.

Plugins that are published on github can be installed as submodules. For example, to install the xxx plugin, follow these steps:

$ cd ~/dotfiles
$ git submodule add http://github.com/author/vim-xxx.git vim/bundle/vim-xxx

This will update the .gitmodules file by appending something like:

[submodule "vim/bundle/vim-xxx"]
    path = vim/bundle/vim-xxx
    url = http://github.com/author/vim-xxx.git

As well as checkout out the git repo into the vim/bundle/vim-xxx directory. You can then commit these changes as follows:

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Added the xxx bundle"
