How to make Vim not fold everything automatically? [duplicate]

vim: enable folds but don't automatically close them

Whenever I open Vim, it automatically folds everything. So the first thing I invariably do is to unfold everything.

Is there a way to automate this?

To unfold all folds, use the keys

zR

In order to adjust the initial fold level, play around with the foldlevel, e.g.

:set foldlevel=1

will open all the highest level folds, a very high number will thus open all folds. Find out which level 1, 2, 3, ... is the one you want.

To make this static, edit your ~/.vimrc and add:

set foldlevelstart=1
