Refresh all files in buffer from disk in vim


The :checkt[ime] command is designed for this very purpose.

It will prompt you to reload any buffers that have changed; if you wish to skip the prompt, you can do :set autoread beforehand (you'll still get a prompt on buffers with local unsaved changes).

It also avoids the syntax highlighting issue mentioned by Steven Lu on the accepted answer; :bufdo turns off syntax highlighting by design.

Read the documentation for bufdo, it should do what you want.


Here's what I ended up putting in my .vimrc:

fun! PullAndRefresh()  set noconfirm  !git pull  bufdo e!  set confirmendfunnmap <leader>gr call PullAndRefresh()
