For some reason a directory I had (Vundle.vim) got randomly copied to another directory (got copied from ~/.vim to ~/dotfiles/.vim with strange permissions and what looks like no contents. Anyways, when I ran
ls -l Vundle.vim
I got
drw-r--r--@ 11 root staff 374 Aug 14 20:22 Vundle.vim
and when I ran
xattr -l Vundle.vim/
this is what I got
xattr -l Vundle.vim/
