Setup Macvim for Maximum awesomeness

January 03, 2014

I have been using Vim for almost 5 years now. For some time, I even switched to Sublime text2 but I am finally back home. Well, the following guide is only for macs. Sorry GVIM users! Here is the latest screenshot of my macvim:![Macvim](/public/img/Vim. png) As you can see, it has a nice Filebrowser that is way more clean and intuitive than NERDTree. ## installation First and foremost down this build of Macvim from alloy’s fork: Macvim Unzip it and then put the Macvim. app into your applications. Follow these instructions to have the same in your Mac. First of all do this: ```sh Git clone Git@GitHub. com: vinitkumar/.Vim. Git git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle cd. Vim cp vimrc ~/.vimrc cp vimrc. before ~/.vimrc. before cp vimrc. bundles ~/.vimrc. bundles Vim +BundleInstall +qall

Install the peepopen app from here: [Peepopen](http://topfunky. GitHub. io/PeepOpen/). When installed open peepopen and set MacVim as your default editor. Once you are done with these steps you have a super awesome development IDE optimised for Python/JS/Ruby development. ##Credits Credit must be given to [@alloy](http://GitHub. com/alloy) and [@topfunky](http://twitter. com/topfunky) for creating these wonderful addons to Vim. Happy hacking!
