Indenting entire file in Vim

Edit your ~/,vimrc file and add the following lines:

filetype plugin on
filetype indent on

On normal mode, just type:

gg=G

This only works if you have the filetype plugin and indent on. To have these enabled edit the ~/,vimrc file and add the following lines:

filetype plugin on
filetype indent on

only after you add those lines to the .vimrc file will the gg=G automatically indent files based on their file type.
