How to pack and move current VIM environment to another computer

[Justin Li]

Hi all,

I like all of the current configuraion of VIM in my computer 1. However,  I want to use VIM in computer 2 exactly the same with the VIM which I am using in computer 1.

Which files should be packed and moved into PC2 from PC1? The whole directory in system directory and .vimrc in user directory?

FYI: I use Ubuntu linux system.

Thanks in advance.

Justin

Hi,
I think you should copy in /home/yourname/ the vim configuration files,
i.e. .vimrc and the directory called .vim/

That's all !!!

Bye

No, if you have a .gvimrc in your home directory you'll need it too.

If you will do this kind of migration often, or you work on several
different systems/machines at the same time, you should consider to
put your vim configuration files under some source control system.
That will make the synchronization very easy. Google Codes(svn) and
GitHub(for git) are both very good and free options. Good luck :)

There is a tip on the Vim wiki that addresses some of these issues:
