skeleton template

Learn about it with :help skeleton
To read a skeleton (template) file when opening
a new file: > :autocmd BufNewFile *.c 0r ~/vim/skeleton.c
:autocmd BufNewFile *.h 0r ~/vim/skeleton.h
:autocmd BufNewFile *.java 0r ~/vim/skeleton.java

autocmd BufNewFile readme.md 0r ~/skeletons/readme.md
autocmd BufNewFile *.sh 0r ~/skeletons/bash.sh

• autocmd – run this automatically on some event
• BufNewFile – this is Vim’s new file event
• readme.md – this is the pattern you want the new file to match
• 0r – read into the buffer starting at line 0, the first line
• ~/skeletons/readme.md – the file to read in The second example works the same way but uses a
  file glob *.sh to match any file ending in .sh
