vimrc VS dotfiles

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.

git clone https://github.com/amix/vimrc.git ~/.vim_runtime

I've just noticed my vimrc right now has exactly 600 lines... not counting the rest of files of course

I only really needed to set few settings + extend syntax folding to comfortably write Markdown

And I don't know anything about stow as I just use my own simple install script

I have public GitHub repository with all my dotfiles under MIT license. On private machine I make changes to them; on work machine, I just clone/pull that public repo. Eventual changes done during work time I just remember to implement at home again.

Like this one I have in my dotfiles?

Well, I'm not gonna comment every tiny bit (as it's usually obvious from the code already), but if you are interested in reading others configs: my vimrc alongside the rest of my Vim configuration

Arch Linux (or WSL2 on Windows)

You start like this and end like this ;)

Read configs of more experienced users (here's Jorengarenar's, for example)

I use vim-lsc (my config)
