    Yes, just use the :so % command while editing your .vimrc.

    If you want vim to auto-reload your configuration, you must add the following commands :

    augroup myvimrchooks
        au!
        autocmd bufwritepost .vimrc source $MYVIMRC
    augroup END
    

    the grouping of autocommand is here to avoid "exponential" reloading if you save several times your configuration.
