./install.sh freezes on install vim plugins stage

[dheerajchand]

I wiped my hard drive, reinstalled High Sierra and started over. The script has hung on the vim plugins stage for four hours three times today, each time on a different network, so I know it's not a wireless / ethernet issue.

Anyone else having this issue?

interesting... you could try commenting out this line: https://github.com/atomantic/dotfiles/blob/master/install.sh#L236

Or change it to remove the > /dev/null 2>&1 part --then you'll see the output.

Or if you are in this state currently, you can try running it in another terminal without the redirection to /dev/null.

May be that one of the packages is failing to resolve...

Granted I'm not on a new machine, but I just launched vim . and then did :PluginInstall without a problem:

These vim plugins are fairly personal. Likely, you can do without some of them, so I'd play with changing out the homedir/.vimrc to have just what you need. If you find a particularly troublesome plugin that's bogging down the install, please let me know :)

@atomantic Thanks for the tip, Adam, and sorry for the tardiness of my reply. I tried that and I still get hanging, although on a different stage.

bash-3.2$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

Changes not staged for commit:
    modified:   homedir/.gitconfig
    modified:   install.sh

no changes added to commit
bash-3.2$```

This eventually runs me out of memory and crashes everything. Any suggestions?

what's the output of git d -- I wonder if something got messed up in the changes with install.sh. The repeating y isn't something I'd expect to see...
