You can install this configuration wither using curl or wget or by manually cloning it down and executing the installation script.

Fastest way to install is to use curl

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gufran/vimconfig/master/install.sh | sh

or wget

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Gufran/vimconfig/master/install.sh -O - | sh

If you dont want to pipe the script to sh directly, you can clone the repository in your home directory and rename to .vim. Run install.sh to setup everything.

git clone https://github.com/Gufran/vimconfig ~/.vim
~/.vim/install.sh

All of the configuration and plugin definitions are in configuration directory. You can create a directory private for all kind of private configuration, private directory is same as configuration directory except it is excluded from git repository, make sure your custom config files have an extension .vim or they will not be sourced.

If you choose to go the curl or wget way, the script will move you old configuration to .vim_old and download the new configuration. This step is skipped if you execute the script from a terminal.

It will then proceed to install the plugin manager, required plugins and move your existing .vimrc file to .vimrc_old. Your New .vimrc file will be a symlink to .vim/vimrc file available in this configuration.
