README
Source code for [My first vimrc](https://arp242.net/my-first-vimrc), a vimrc
generator that doesn't add a world of complexity.
The concept is inspired by [vimconfig.com](http://vimconfig.com), but I wouldn't
recommend this site for various reasons (for a start it uses invalid syntax, and
some options it sets are inadvisable). I did like the idea though, hence this
project.
It is an alternative to spf13, vim-bootstrap, and whatnot which give new users a
huge vimrc full of undocumented/unclear options.
Who not just use `:help`? Well:
$ wc -l options.coffee /usr/share/vim/vim81/doc/options.txt
457 options.coffee
9229 /usr/share/vim/vim81/doc/options.txt
Also, the help descriptions try to add a little bit more context/explanation
more aimed at new users, rather than being a reference manual like Vim's
`options.txt`.

- Thank you!
- This project's goal is *not* to list all possible options/snippets that you
can stick in a vimrc. Only the most useful/common ones to give new users a
good place to start from.
Ideally, the list should fit on a single page of a 1920×1080 screen, and
reading through it all shouldn't take more than about half an hour at the
most.
