Guidelines for sculpting your ~/.vimrc.

Unlike many other so-called "distibutions", "templates" or "awesome vimrc", this repository is NOT meant to be an actual vimrc or even form the basis of your own vimrc so don't copy it to your $HOME and expect it to work.

The purpose of this repository is to document battle-tested best practices regarding Vim configuration. Use it as a reference, not as a starting point.

Furthermore, a vimrc is something personal, that grows, shrinks and evolve over time, as your Vim-fu augments and your needs change. While looking at other people's vimrc can be an interesting move when looking for a practical solution to an actual problem, one should refrain himself from looking for solutions to non-existing problems.

Remember, kids... Pandajail is where pandas are sent when you use someone else's .vimrc. Don't be the vimmer responsible for this:
