My system is RHEL 7.5 and the output of vim --version as below:
me@localhost:~/tmp$ vim --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Aug 9 2019 03:17:15)
I want to use vim 8 so I downloaded the source code of vim 8, compiled it and installed it.
Now, when I type which vim, the output is /usr/local/bin/vim, which is exactly what I just intalled.
/usr/local/bin/vim --version showed me
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled Apr 17 2020 12:27:50)
Included patches: 1-587
Compiled by [email protected]
Everything looks fine.
However, if I execute vim --version, it's still vim 7, instead of vim 8.
Now I'm totally confused.
As my understanding, which vim tells me which command it will use, which vim shows me /usr/local/bin/vim, so why vim --version used another vim (/usr/bin/vim), instead of /usr/local/bin/vim?
