dotfiles VS vimrc

I like it when things are tidy: dotfiles/vim/vimrc. It makes the training info more credible.

You can always purge your buffer list whenever it gets too large. In fact, I have two custom commands in my vimrc: one to delete all buffers and one to delete specific buffer file(s). You can find them here in my dotfiles.

If you want to see what my personal configs look like, check out my dotfiles.

My Vim configs are stored inside my dotfiles repository - this way I can access them when I'm away from my computer. So if I have to login from a foreign computer, all I need to do is symlink the Vim files from the dotfiles repository, install the dependencies (I have a script for that too, but that's for another time), and I'm set to go!

there are several vimrc files: https://github.com/amix/vimrc

Vim with https://github.com/amix/vimrc

If you want my five cents, then I would say that using something like https://github.com/amix/vimrc without fully understanding the consequences, is a bad idea. And instead you should focus on the basics of vim, vimtutor followed by :h user-manual.

text editors for writing files. Recommended: install plugins ultimate vim to make vim more powerful and colorful.

Archcraft's vim uses this vimrc which adds a lot of plugins including some for improving appearance, so it's more suited for a terminal emulator than a tty.

I'm basically using this as a base with some tweaks :)

Or if you want something very minimal, just for easier editing experience when connected to server, try just a simple preconfigured vimrc file, where you can comment and uncomment stuff that you might need. I use amix as base for my own vimrc file.
