Sometimes you just need a copy of your .vimrc file available to you no matter where you are in the world. Perhaps you are on a computer and need to spin up a WSL instance, maybe you are over at someone else’s workstation.
Who knows what the future might hold. But I know this. Having my vimrc file on the internet for me to copy whenever and wherever I need to is a smart idea.
The best part…if you have found this page, you can have it as well. I don’t mind sharing.
