echo “syntax on” >> ~/.vimrc

Wow, that’s an excellent way to destroy people’s vim config files. You want this:
echo "syntax on" >> ~/.vimrc
The single > will OVERWRITE the file. Double >> appends.

Yeah, you’re right. Stupid moment on my part. There wasn’t a .vimrc file on the laptop when I created it.
