It's not efficient that everyone must set specific configurations in all their ~/.vimrc files; we can have a project-wide .vimrc that everyone can use. By default it's ignored, you need the following in your ~/.vimrc set exrc set secure Then the project-wide configuration is loaded, which sets the correct filetype for the documentation and tests, and also the default indentation of c, sh, and asciidoc files. If you have the shareness syntax file it will be used for the tests, but if not the sh syntax will still be used. These default configurations can be overriden in the typical way (by adding the corresponding file in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin). We could add the vim modelines at the bottom of every file, like other projects do, but this seems more sensible.
