Brew Install Vim - Jerod Santo

OS X users who prefer command-line Vim over MacVim (I'm sure we're few and far between) may become frustrated with the lack of features enabled in Apple's stock /usr/bin/vim. For me, seeing -clipboard and -ruby in my vim --version just wasn't gonna cut it.

Turning to Homebrew "proper" for a solution would only further that frustration:

brew search vim

If you meant `vim' precisely:

Apple distributes vim with OS X, you can find it in /usr/bin.

Thankfully, there's a great [unofficial repository][homebrew-alt] of alternative Homebrew formulae to fill the void! In it is a formula that will compile a feature-rich version of Vim. You can install it by cloning the repo and pointing to the formula on your local file system or by simply pointing `brew install` at the raw URL, like so:

brew install https://raw.github.com/adamv/homebrew-alt/master/duplicates/vim.rb

Seriously, do it. Do it. DO IT.
