autoconfig mac vimrc with bundle

A one-shot shell script that bootstraps a Mac Vim setup for front-end developers: installs Vundle, YouCompleteMe with tern, powerline fonts, ack/ag, and a pile of colorschemes. It's a personal dotfile repo that someone published rather than a general-purpose tool.

The install script is idempotent — every step checks before acting, so rerunning it won't stomp an existing setup. Backs up your existing .vimrc before overwriting, which is the one thing people forget. Bundles YouCompleteMe with tern-completer, which was genuinely fiddly to set up manually in 2015.

Abandoned since April 2016 — YouCompleteMe's tern-completer is deprecated in favor of LSP, and the Homebrew install URL in the script is long dead. No way to customize what gets installed; it's all-or-nothing, so you can't skip the 15-minute YouCompleteMe compile if you don't need it. Vundle itself has largely been superseded by vim-plug or lazy.nvim. The .vimrc is undocumented — no comments explaining why any setting is there, so forking it means reading Vim help pages for every line.
