What is its purpose for having a working UltiSnips installation with some examples to test?\r\n\r\nSo in the end I've tested that the correct steps to follow in order to have a working out of the box plugin are:\r\n\r\n    1 - cd ~/.vim/bundle\r\n    2 - git clone git://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips.git\r\n    3 - git clone https://github.com/honza/vim-snippets.git\r\n\r\nExtremely simple, but not properly clear from the docs.\r\n\r\nThank you for your response,\r\n\r\nCaneta"}}
