============================= Simple Vim templates plugin

:Author: Adrian Perez aperez@igalia.com

This is a simple plugin for Vim that will allow you to have a set of templates for certain file types. It is useful to add boilerplate code like guards in C/C++ headers, or license disclaimers.

Installation

The easiest way to install the plugin is to install it as a bundle. For example, using Pathogen__:

1. Get and install pathogen.vim <https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen>_. You can skip this step if you already have it installed.

2. cd ~/.vim/bundle

3. git clone git://github.com/aperezdc/vim-template.git

Bundle installs are known to work fine also when using Vundle__. Other bundle managers are expected to work as well.

.. important:: If you use Fish as your shell, you will need to add set shell=/bin/sh to your ~/.vimrc — the plugin relies on the setting pointing to a Bourne-compatible shell.
