This plugin attempts to solve the problem of local runtime configurations in the
context of project repositories and similar use-cases. It is a more proper way
of the built-in
exrc feature (see
also secure). In
contrast to it, this plugin can load multiple runtime configurations on a path.
This allows to edit files of multiple projects, while the local configurations
only apply to their subtree (require well written local configuration files, see
the section localrc_usage in the docs). Moreover is the exrc option
considered as not safe. This plugin attempts to solve that problem by letting
the user (visually) confirm a local configuration. Confirmations by the user can
be cached to avoid asking again for the exact same file (determined by hash
values). If a file has been changed since the last confirmation, the user must
verify the file again.
Install the plugin with your favorite manager tool. Here is an example using dein.vim:
call dein#add('weilbith/vim-localrc')Checkout the documentation are accessible via :help localrc_usage. If your plugin manager does not add them automatically you can
do so manually with :helptags ALL.
The plugin works out of the box and become active automatically. Nevertheless it
is possible to the plugin by its configuration options. Checkout :help localrc_variables to get an overview.
