Projects Specific Settings with Vim

writtenby.adriengiboire.com

Thanks for this. I was looking for a solution for this specific problem.

I have a couple of questions though. 1- Do we have to place a .vimrc in each folder for projects we need specific settings for? In your example, it seems that the code is just part of the global .vimrc.

2- When you say that it will overwrite the global .vimrc, will the other project specific .vimrcs completely overwrite, or will it only take the new settings into account?

Thanks!

1 - You can do both. You can either place a `.vimrc` file in any of your projects and/or add specific settings in your global `.vimrc` file the way I show in my article.

2 - Vim will load 2 files for configuration. The global `.vimrc` and the one in the directory you are in, eg. often the root directory of your projet. The latter being prior.

Thanks a lot for your answer :-) It all makes sense now.

You're welcome :)
