Vim plugin configuration note

Use pathogen to manage your vim plugins (http://www.cnblogs.com/chijianqiang/archive/2012/11/06/vim-3.html)

1) Install pathogen (https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen)

a)
   mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle && \
   curl -LSso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim
   #after this step, there will be 2 more directories under ~/.vim: bundle and autoload,
   #it is the bundle where all plugins reside

b)
   #add following line into your ~/.vimrc
   call pathogen#infect()

2) Use git clone to install plugins

    a) NerdTree
cd ~/.vim/
git clone git://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree.git
#add map setting in your vimrc to use "Ctrl+t" to open nerdtree
    map <C-t> :NERDTree<CR>

    b) command-t (https://github.com/wincent/command-t)
cd ~/.vim/
git clone https://github.com/wincent/command-t.git bundle/command-t

#goto the ruby directory to compile C extension
cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t/ruby/command-t
ruby extconf.rb
make

#add map setting in vimrc

map <C-c> :CommandT<CR>
