How to locate the vimrc file used by vim editor?
Just try doing the following:
:version
You will get an output which includes something like:
system vimrc file: "$VIM/vimrc"
user vimrc file: "$HOME/.vimrc"
user exrc file: "$HOME/.exrc"
system gvimrc file: "$VIM/gvimrc"
user gvimrc file: "$HOME/.gvimrc"
system menu file: "$VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim"
As noted by Herbert in comments, this is where vim
looks for vimrc
s, it doesn't mean they exist.
You can check the full path of your vimrc
with
:echo $MYVIMRC
If the output is empty, then your vim
doesn't use a user vimrc
(just create it if you wish).
