da-vimci 🎨 🖌

For all coders out there who appreciate the art of using Vim, here I share my binary Monna Lisa to paint my artwork in Python, C++ and HCL.

Installation

Step 1. Get your copy of the project:

git clone https://github.com/etoromol/da-vimci.git

Step 2. Change to the project's directory:

cd da-vimci

Step 3. Make a backup of your current Vim configuration:

cp ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc_bak

Step 4. Replace your Vim configuration with da-vimci:

cp vimrc ~/.vimrc

Alternatively, I've found convenient to use the new configuration with Symbolic Links. Follow Step 1. and 2. and then paste this command on your Terminal:

ln -s -f /your_path/da-vimci/vimrc ~/.vimrc

Make sure to change your_path with the real path on your computer to the da-vimci project.

Step 5. Download vim-plug and add it into the autoload directory:

curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

6. Open Vim, install the plugins list and make art! 👨‍🎨
