This is how it's gonna work: you'll see a description of what's happening in the commit message (that blue box up there!), a certain number of lines highlighted in green, and then some comments for clarification. This first commit is pretty boring--it gets better, trust me!

Note that we want to call this file ~/.vimrc instead of vimrc.vim. I've named it accordingly so that GitHub syntax highlights it correctly, but you should change that name.

according to the OS, vimrc is not always under ~/.vimrc, therefore the most straightforward way to edit this file is to type the following command in vim or givm

:e $MYVIMRC

I suppose, but my original audience was a room of ~50 beginners. When in doubt, keep it simple. Thanks for pointing it out though!

nocompatible is default in vim now :)
