Disabling swap files creation in vim

Question

Is there a way to disable .swp files creation in vim? or at least create them all in one place so I can find and delete them easily.

I find them especia

Answer 1

For anyone trying to set this for Rails projects, add

set directory=tmp,/tmp

into your

~/.vimrc

So the .swp files will be in their natural location - the tmp directory (per project).
