Make vim read the vimrc from ~/.vim/vimrc This may not be the best place to ask this question but I'm having trouble getting vim to read my vimrc file. If I have it in the home directory as ~/.vimrc then it ready just fine but if I move it ~/.vim/vimrc so that I can take advantage of plugins and a few other things, it no longer reads the vimrc. I can't remember what I was supposed to do to make it read the correct vimrc.
I created a symlink.

ln -s ~/.vim/vimrc ~/.vimrc

Works like a charm.
