vimrc settings not working on git bash running in ConsoleZ

491 views Asked by At

I've following vimrc settings for Python environment, that works fine if I open GitBash directly:

" enable syntax highlighting
syntax enable

" show line numbers
set number

" set tabs to have 4 spaces
set ts=4

" indent when moving to the next line while writing code
set autoindent

" expand tabs into spaces
set expandtab

" when using the >> or << commands, shift lines by 4 spaces
set shiftwidth=4

" show the matching part of the pair for [] {} and ()
set showmatch

" enable all Python syntax highlighting features
let python_highlight_all = 1

But, when I'm running Git bash from inside ConsoleZ window, it doesn't seem to work. Is there some other settings that needs to be done? Haven't found anything about this anywhere.

The first step is to make sure that Git bash is the latest one: Git for Windows 2.4.4 (PortableGit-2.4.4.2-3rd-release-candidate-64-bit.7z.exe, released 4 hours earlier today)

I explain why that 64 version of the new Git for Windows came to be in "Why is it that if you download Git 2.0 from the net, you always get a 1.9.4 installer package?".

To launch its bash:

c:\path\to\PortableGit-2.4.4.2-3rd-release-candidate-64-bit\git-bash.exe

Then make sure the vimrc has Unix eol (end of line) character, and not Windows eol.
