I have gvim installed as well as vim. I want gvim and vim to share the same config file. How can I do that?

10They should, already. Where are your config files located?– muruCommented Feb 20, 2017 at 3:20

1they already do, .gvimrc usually contains additional settings that are gvim specific. .vimrc still remains the main config file– AnonymousLurkerCommented Dec 8, 2018 at 15:13

Vim reads ~/.vimrc; gvim reads ~/.gvimrc as well as ~/.vimrc.
So simply put your commands into ~/.vimrc (and put the GUI-specific commands into ~/.gvimrc).
Newer Vims also look at ~/.vim/vimrc and ~/.vim/gvimrc.

yes, true. details can be found by typing :he vimrc in vim– NaumannCommented Feb 22, 2017 at 14:59
You can also use something along the following lines in your vimrc:
if has('gui')
set foo=bar
...
endif
has('gui') return True if Vim has a GUI compiled in (regardless of whether you're running the terminal vim or not). A better option is has('gui_running'), which only returns True if the GUI is actually running.
