Prerequisites

Vim with Python support.

YouCompleteMe

You can override the installation of YouCompleteMe by setting the variable g:dotvim_ycm_build_command in your vimrc.before (for more info, see Overrides section and YouCompleteMe docs), e.g.:

let g:dotvim_ycm_build_command='./install.py --clang-completer --gocode-completer --tern-completer --racer-completer'

• CMake
• for Go support: install Go and add --gocode-completer to g:dotvim_ycm_build_command.
• TypeScript support: install Node.js and npm then install the TypeScript SDK with npm install -g typescript.
• JavaScript support: install Node.js and npm and add --tern-completer to g:dotvim_ycm_build_command.
• Rust support: install Rust and add --racer-completer to g:dotvim_ycm_build_command.

For more info, see https://github.com/valloric/youcompleteme.

Usage

The following commands will clone the repo, symlink ~/.vimrc and update the bundles:

git clone https://github.com/MeirKriheli/dotvim.git ~/.vim
ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc
cd ~/.vim
curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Install plugins from the command line:

vim +PlugUpdate +qa

To add or override settings, place them in ~/.vim/vimrc.local.

To update submodules in the future, when you have vim running, source vimrc to make sure plugins list is updated (or restart vim):

:PlugUpdate

Upgrading

In case you're updating from previous Vundle based to vim-plug, remove the bundle directory as it's not needed anymore, get vim-plug and install the plugins:

cd ~/.vim
rm -rf bundle
curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
vim +PlugUpdate +qa

Go tags

For CtrlPBufTag search in go lang files, make sure you have an updated version of catgs (>=5.8) and put in your ~/.ctags:

--langdef=Go
--langmap=Go:.go
--regex-Go=/func([ \t]+\([^)]+\))?[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\2/f,func/
--regex-Go=/var[ \t]+([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/v,var/
--regex-Go=/type[ \t]+([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/\1/t,type/

Overrides

• ~/.vim/vimrc.before, if exists, is sourced before everything allowing definitions of variables to act upon.
• ~/.vim/vimrc.local, or ~/.vim/vimrc.after if exists, is sourced after all the files in ~/.vim/vimrc.d allowing override of default settings (e.g: color schemes, plugin configuration, etc.).
