My professor assigned an ssh account to every student in my programming class and mandated that we use VIM for text editing. I discovered :set nu
and :set auto indent
via Google. I noticed that those two settings reset after every launch. Is there a way to make them persist on my ssh account? What about on VIM on my local machine?

Put them in your
vimrc
(see:help vimrc
). You can then sync that file between machines.Another option is to have vimrc set up on the local machine, and use e.g. bcvi to transfer files transparently from remote to local and back again.
