Macvim

• brew install macvim

  • Then cp -R /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/8.2-171_1/MacVim.app ~/Applications
  • And add alias mvim=/Users/${username}/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/bin/mvim to ~/.bash_profile

• If above not possible, then download MacVIM from macvim github ( which was forked from here originally I think )

other vim stuff

• ctrlp, from https://github.com/ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim

  mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start
  git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/ctrlpvim/ctrlp.vim.git ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/ctrlp 
  

• theme, solarized8 sometimes is good (also slate too )

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/themes/opt/

cd ~/.vim/pack/themes/opt/
git clone git@github.com:lifepillar/vim-solarized8.git

Vim notes

• Vim doesnt know about “terraform” files like .tf and the hashivim github helps with that. vim-terraform actually has a magical :TerraformFmt command that inspects the syntax of your .tf file too.
