Simple Vim templates plugin
| Author: | Adrian Perez <[email protected]> |

This is a simple plugin for Vim that will allow you to have a set of templates for certain file types. It is useful to add boilerplate code like guards in C/C++ headers, or license disclaimers.
Installation
The easiest way to install the plugin is to install it as a bundle. For example, using Pathogen:
- Get and install pathogen.vim. You can skip this step if you already have it installed.
cd ~/.vim/bundlegit clone git://github.com/aperezdc/vim-template.git
Bundle installs are known to work fine also when using Vundle. Other bundle managers are expected to work as well.
Important
If you use Fish as your shell, you will need to add
set shell=/bin/sh to your ~/.vimrc — the plugin relies on the
setting pointing to a Bourne-compatible shell.
Documentation
The documentation can be browsed directly in Vim:
:help template.txt
Alternatively, you can also read it in your browser.
Updating
Manually
In order to update the plugin, go to its bundle directory and use Git to update it:
cd ~/.vim/bundle/vim-templategit pull
With Vundle
Use the :BundleUpdate command provided by Vundle, for example invoking
Vim like this:
% vim +BundleUpdate
