Cygwin .vimrc file location and how to make changes?

[tsai]

Hi everyone,

After installing Cygwin, where is the default location of the .vimrc file so I can augment it? Kind of confusing. I know on my Linux box, it is hidden in the home directory and a simple ls -la will list it. That isn't happening in Cygwin. Where is .vimrc located in Cygwin and how do I make changes to it and save it?

Thanks

I'm not sure where it is by default in cygwin, but an easy way to find
out is to launch vim, and :echo $MYVIMRC

Or just edit it with :edit $MYVIMRC

[sc]

the first way to find it that popped into my mind was to execute

:scriptnames

your .vimrc should be the first script mentioned

Hi tsai!

~/.vimrc as on Unix.

If you don't have the .vimrc in your home directory, you can create
one from scratch.

A better way may be copy the one found in your Linux box to your
cygwin home directory.

The cygwin is considered unix environment and .vimrc should be in your home.
