Based on the review of CL 1723044, I've changed the installation instructions for the vim syntax files to suggest symlinking the files rather than copying the files. Also the wording has changed to be more consistent. R=golang-dev, Kyle Lemons, adg CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/1702045

Vim syntax highlighting for Go (http://golang.org)
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
To install automatic syntax highlighting for GO programs:
|
|
|
|
1. Copy or link the filetype detection script to the ftdetect directory
|
|
underneath your vim runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/ftdetect)
|
|
2. Copy or link syntax/go.vim to the syntax directory underneath your vim
|
|
runtime directory (normally $HOME/.vim/syntax). Linking this file rather
|
|
than just copying it will ensure any changes are automatically reflected
|
|
in your syntax highlighting.
|
|
3. Add the following line to your .vimrc file (normally $HOME/.vimrc):
|
|
|
|
syntax on
|
|
|
|
In a typical unix environment you might accomplish this using the following
|
|
commands:
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/ftdetect
|
|
mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/syntax
|
|
ln -s $GOROOT/misc/vim/ftdetect/gofiletype.vim $HOME/.vim/ftdetect/
|
|
ln -s $GOROOT/misc/vim/syntax/go.vim $HOME/.vim/syntax
|
|
echo "syntax on" >> $HOME/.vimrc
