About

This is an automated configuration of development environemnt, physical or virtual. It manages following:

• OS packages
• PiP packages
• dotfiles
• Vim plugins

Vim plugins

Third party plugin helpers like Pathogen and Vundle are not used. Vim 8 has a native way of loading third-party plugins by simply droping them in a specific directory. This repository offers a simple tool which adds, removes or updates Vim plugins as git submodules. Automation then will copy them under ~/.vim, which makes plugins avaialable to Vim at next start.

Limitations

Only Ubuntu/Debian compatible OS-es are supported
