+#### Minimal vimrc
+
+The user vimrc can be put into `~/.vimrc` or for the sake of better separation
+into `~/.vim/vimrc`. The latter makes it easy to put the entire configuration
+under version control and upload it to, let's say Github.
+
+You find many "minimal vimrcs" all over the net, and maybe my version isn't as
+minimal as it should be, but it provides a good set of sane settings that I deem
+to be useful for starting out.
+
+Eventually you have to read up on all the mentioned settings anyway and decide
+for yourself. :-)
+
+So here it is: [minimal-vimrc](content/minimal-vimrc.vim)
+
+In case you're interested, here's [my
+vimrc](https://github.com/mhinz/dotfiles/blob/master/vim/vimrc).
+
+**TIP**: Most plugin authors maintain several plugins and also publish their
+vimrc on Github (often in a repositoy called "vim-config" or "dotfiles"), so
+whenever you find a plugin you like, look up its maintainer's Github page and
+look through the repositories.
