This is my .vimrc file. It’s super simple, but has proven its utility over the past several years. It enables line numbers, auto-indent, and syntax highlighting. It also replaces indents with four spaces.

syntax on
set tabstop=4 softtabstop=-1 shiftwidth=0 expandtab number autoindent
autocmd FileType make set noexpandtab shiftwidth=8 softtabstop=0

This page exists mostly for my own convenience; it’s invaluable when setting up a new machine.
