Dotfiles

Dotfiles configurations for headless Kubuntu linux environments. Be sure to clone recursively if you want to grab updated plugins / submodules included. For example, using Pathogen with Vim to manage plugins requires that the plugin to be installed are cloned to the ~/.vim/bundle/ directory. Cloning recursively allows git to clone these same nested repositories/submodules within this directory so Pathogen can handle running the Vim plugins.

Once installed, editing source code in vim supports features displayed in the screenshot below
