This repository contains my MacVim configuration process for a new computer, it is based on my own work flow as a web developer (in PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS) and it includes:

• my gvimrc file
• .vim directory containing various customization files including my own theme, snippets, syntax highlighting, etc.
• the font of my choice

Disclaimer
I created this repository for my own needs and I highly recommend that you check it thoroughly before installing it on your system. I am not responsible if something goes wrong, so use at your own risk.
