42 vim Configuration

A simple vim configuration aiming at improving productivity while coding at the piscine and beyond.

Features

• Customizable login: Set your login globally, and it will be automatically used in the header.
• Insert 42-style header: A function to easily insert a complete 42-style header into a new file or at the top of an existing file.
• Automatic Updated: line update: Updates the Updated: line with the current date, time, and your login every time you save a file with the 42-style header.

Installation

1. Save the script to your Vim configuration directory as 42.vim:

   • Linux/macOS: ~/.vim/42.vim

2. Source the script in your ~/.vimrc:

   source ~/.vim/42.vim

3. Set your login globally in the script (replace "YOUR_LOGIN" with your actual login):

   let g:my_login = "YOUR_LOGIN"

4. Done! The script is now ready to use.

Usage

Insert the 42 Header

To insert the 42-style header at the top of a file, run the following command:

:call InsertHeader()

This will insert the header at the top of the file, including placeholders for the filename, your login, and the current date.

Automatically Update Updated: Line

Every time you save a file, the Updated: line in the 42-style header will automatically be updated with the current timestamp and your login.
