Applying Colors to the VI Editor on Mac OS#

Problem#

On Mac OS, the default color scheme for vim is not configured, so readability is poor as shown below.

Let’s configure a vim color scheme to improve readability as shown below.

How to Configure#

Create a .vimrc file as follows.

% cd ~/
% mkdir .vim
% cd .vim
% git clone https://github.com/rafi/awesome-vim-colorschemes
% cd awesome-vim-colorschemes
% mv colors ../
% cd ~/
% vim .vimrc

Add the following content to the .vimrc file.
