echo "Greetings."

Since I keep forgetting this, I might as well leave myself a little reminder here!

It is convenient to use a local vim run control (i.e. rc) file in a project’s root directory, with configuration very specific to that project.

Let’s say that your project ~/myproject contains yaml files, and you want a very specific indentation rules to be applied, that you do not want to clutter your regular .vimrc file with.

Do as follows:

cd ~/myproject
touch .vimrc

And edit .vimrc with the following:

echom "Hello, this is myproject's local rc file"
echom expand("%:p")
echom "-_-!"

augroup filetype_yaml
    autocmd!
    autocmd FileType yaml setlocal tabstop=8 expandtab shiftwidth=2 softtabstop=2
augroup END

If you use neovim, name your rc file .nvimrc instead.

echo "Live long and prosper."
