$VOLTPATH/rc/default/[g]vimrc is not being generated #272
Description
Activity
As stated here, if
$VOLTPATH/rc/<profile>/{vimrc.vim,gvimrc.vim}exist, they will be copied as$HOME/.vim/{vimrc,gvimrc}uponvolt build.$HOME/.vim/{vimrc,gvimrc}are used as runcom files if$HOME/{.vimrc,.gvimrc}are not found.Therefore, if you wish to manage your
.vimrcand/or.gvimrcinside the$VOLTPATH, you can move them to$VOLTPATH/rc/<profile>/{vimrc.vim,gvimrc.vim}. If not, you don't need to do anything;volt buildnever touches$HOME/{.vimrc,.gvimrc}and$VOLTPATH/rc/<profile>/{vimrc.vim,gvimrc.vim}are not necessary in that case.Sent with GitHawk
Reacted by Fujiwara TakuyaWell, it is correct what you say and it is working. But still I think the README should be refined to describe this topic a bit better. It is not easy to identify the necessary bits out of the README to create a new volt config from scratch.
Reacted by Fujiwara TakuyaI agree that README can be more precise and friendly. I will try and make a PR when I have time :)

When installing a plugin with volt, I get the following output:
It tells me something about a vimrc and gvimrc being installed, but that is actually not the case.
My original
~/.vimrcis still unmodifed and the directory$VOLTPATH/rcdoesn't even exist.I actually don't even know what should happen. The README isn't clear about that. Should volt at any time touch my
~/.vimrc? I expect not. Should it modify an existing$VOLTPATH/rc/defauilt/vimrc? I expect so. But am I responsible for symlinking my real~/.vimrcto$VOLTPATH/rc/default/vimrc? I don't know. And if volt is creating/modifying that vimrc, what does in enter there?It should be stated more clearly in the README what the user should do here. I expected that
$VOLTPATH/rc/default/vimrcwould be created by volt and the installed packages magically get activated.I am using the release version 0.3.5 of volt.
