My Personal Vim Directory

This is my personal git directory, under source control ready to be deployed across across all platforms.

Deploying

On Linux and Mac:

rm -rf .vim
rm .vimrc
git clone [email protected]:maciakl/.vim.git
ln -s .vim/.vimrc .vimrc
cd .vim
git submodule init
git submodule update

On Windows:

rmdir /s /q vimfiles
del _vimrc
git clone [email protected]:maciakl/.vim.git
mklink /d vimfiles .vim
mklink /h _vimrc .vim\.vimrc
cd .vim
git submodule init
git submodule update

On Windows XP:

rmdir /s /q vimfiles
del _vimrc
git clone [email protected]:maciakl/.vim.git
junction vimfiles .vim
fsutil hardlink create _vimrc .vim\.vimrc
cd .vim
git submodule init
git submodule update

Note that you will need junction.exe from Sysinternals to create the symbolic link for the directory. The fsutil executable should be on your system by default.
