This is straight from the SpaceVim FAQs, but it's a little buried there if you're not looking for it.
It's entirely possible to try or use SpaceVim without disrupting your existing Vim configuration. This assumes a working bash or zsh shell environment and vim installed.
In just 2 quick steps:
1) Clone the SpaceVim repository:
git clone https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim.git ~/.SpaceVim
2) Create svim as an alias in your .bashrc or .zshrc file:
alias svim='vim -u ~/.SpaceVim/vimrc'
After re-initializing your shell environment, you should simply be able to use svim on the command line to enable a fully-functional SpaceVim IDE.
SpaceVim is very customizable. You're welcome to checkout/use/adapt my own customization.
Q: Can it be better?
A: You bet! Use NeoVim instead of Vim. You'll get all the goodness of Vim and all the coding love of NeoVim. Give it a go!
