Edit ~/.vimrc and put these in it:

set autoindent

set tabstop=4

colorscheme default

Note: type :colorscheme and hit Tab in order to find available colorsschemes installed for your Vim .

To use vim as default editor, use this

export EDITOR=/path/to/vim or simply export EDITOR=vim

or you can save this in your rc file
