Forked from vgod's vimrc https://github.com/vgod/vimrc

1. Check out from github

• Mac Os/Linux:

       $ git clone https://github.com/hSATAC/vimrc ~/.vim
       $ cd ~/.vim
       $ git submodule update --init
  

• Windows: (or you could checkout into your $VIM if you want to build a portable gvim)

       $ git clone https://github.com/hSATAC/vimrc ~/vimfiles
       $ cd ~/vimfiles
       $ git submodule update --init            
  

2. Install ~/.vimrc and ~/.gvimrc

• Mac Os/Linux:

       $ ./install-vimrc.sh
  

• Windows7:

       > install-win32.bat
  

3. (Optional, if you want taglist) Install the Exuberant Ctags (http://ctags.sourceforge.net/)

• Mac Os: The built-in ctags is not compitable with taglist.vim

       put ctags.exe into your $VIM
  

All plugins were checked out as git submodules, which can be upgraded with git pull. For example, to upgrade Command-T

 $ cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t
 $ git pull
 
 // update all bundles
 $ git submodule foreach git pull origin master
