Mastering Vim - Chapter 1: Getting Started

.vimrc

.vimrc is a configuration file which lives in your home directory.

If you're on Linux or Mac OS, copy .vimrc file to your $HOME directory, for example /home/ruslan/.vimrc. If you're on Windows, rename the file to _vimrc (Windows does not allow periods in file names) and place it in your %USERPROFILE% directory, for example C:\Users\ruslan\_vimrc.

To find where your user directory is, open your command line (Terminal on Mac OS and Linux, cmd.exe on Windows), and execute echo $HOME on Linux/Mac OS or echo %USERPROFILE% on Windows.
