Pink is a Vim theme designed for 256 color terminals, featuring shades of the color pink.
Vim, the text editor used in conjunction with Pink, was created by Bram Moolenaar in 1991 for the Amiga computer. Vim stands for Vi IMproved and was intended to be an upgraded version of the vi editor. The program's purpose was to aid in editing program source code and comes with a variety of features useful in this endeavor.
Although Vim works with a variety of operating systems, it is most widely used on Unix-like operating systems. Vim is free and open source software, available under a software license compatible with the GNU General Public License. The license includes charityware clauses as well.
Vim's interface is primarily based on text user inputs and commands, rather than menus or icons. Vim's graphical user interface, gVim, offers commonly used commands via menus and toolbars but still relies mainly on command line inputs for functionality. New users may find Vim's interface difficult at first, but they tend to progress quickly once they become used to the commands. Vim offers a built-in tutorial for beginners, and the Vim Users' Manual details basic features as well as more complex ones, all of which can be found online or can be read within the program using the :help command.
To use Pink with Vim, you should have Vim installed. Once you have that, create a colors directory in your ~/.vim directory using the command mkdir -p ~/.vim/colors. Then, copy the pink.vim file into this directory using the command cp pink.vim !$ vim. Finally, set the color scheme to pink via the command :set colorscheme pink.
