vim-plug
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
A single-file Vim plugin manager.
|
|
|
|
Somewhere between [Pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) and
|
|
[Vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle), but with faster parallel installer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Pros.
|
|
|
|
- Easier to setup
|
|
- Parallel installation/update (requires
|
|
[+ruby](http://junegunn.kr/2013/09/installing-vim-with-ruby-support/))
|
|
- Smallest possible feature set
|
|
- Dependency resolution using `Plugfile` (experimental)
|
|
|
|
### Cons.
|
|
|
|
- Everything else
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
Download plug.vim and put it in ~/.vim/autoload
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload
|
|
curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim https://raw.github.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit your .vimrc
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
call plug#begin()
|
|
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/seoul256'
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/vim-easy-align'
|
|
" Plug 'user/repo1', 'branch_or_tag'
|
|
" Plug 'user/repo2', { 'rtp': 'vim/plugin/dir', 'branch': 'devel' }
|
|
" Plug 'git@github.com:junegunn/vim-github-dashboard.git'
|
|
" ...
|
|
|
|
call plug#end()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then `:PlugInstall` to install plugins.
|
|
|
|
### Plugin directory
|
|
|
|
By default, plugins are installed in `plugged` directory under the first path in
|
|
runtimepath at the point when `plug#begin()` is called. This is usually
|
|
`~/.vim/plugged` (or `$HOME/vimfiles/plugged` on Windows) given that you didn't
|
|
touch runtimepath before the call. You can explicitly set the location of the
|
|
plugins with `plug#begin(path)` call.
|
|
|
|
### Commands
|
|
|
|
| Command | Description |
|
|
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
| PlugInstall [#threads] | Install plugins |
|
|
| PlugUpdate [#threads] | Install or update plugins |
|
|
| PlugClean[!] | Remove unused directories (bang version will clean without prompt) |
|
|
| PlugUpgrade | Upgrade vim-plug itself |
|
|
| PlugStatus | Check the status of plugins |
|
|
|
|
(Default number of threads = `g:plug_threads` or 16)
|
|
|
|
### Dependency resolution
|
|
|
|
If a Vim plugin specifies its dependent plugins in `Plugfile` in its root
|
|
directory, vim-plug will automatically source it recursively during the
|
|
installation.
|
|
|
|
A `Plugfile` should contain a set of `Plug` commands for the dependent plugins.
|
|
|
|
I've created three dummy repositories with Plugfiles as an example to this
|
|
scheme.
|
|
|
|
- [junegunn/dummy1](https://github.com/junegunn/dummy1/blob/master/Plugfile)
|
|
- Plugfile includes `Plug 'junegunn/dummy2'`
|
|
- [junegunn/dummy2](https://github.com/junegunn/dummy2/blob/master/Plugfile)
|
|
- Plugfile includes `Plug 'junegunn/dummy3'`
|
|
- [junegunn/dummy3](https://github.com/junegunn/dummy3/blob/master/Plugfile)
|
|
|
|
If you put `Plug 'junegunn/dummy1'` in your configuration file, and run
|
|
`:PlugInstall`,
|
|
|
|
1. vim-plug first installs dummy1
|
|
2. And sees if the repository has Plugfile
|
|
3. Plugfile is loaded and vim-plug discovers dependent plugins
|
|
4. Dependent plugins are then installed as well, and their Plugfiles are
|
|
examined and their dependencies are resolved recursively.

### Regarding feature request
|
|
|
|
You may submit a request for a new feature by [creating an
|
|
issue](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug/issues). However, please be minded
|
|
that this is an opinionated software and I want to keep the feature set as small
|
|
as possible. So I may not agree with you on the necessity of the suggested
|
|
feature. If that happens, I suggest the following options.
|
|
|
|
1. Check out [Vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle) or
|
|
[NeoBundle](https://github.com/Shougo/neobundle.vim).
|
|
They offer broader feature sets.
|
|
2. Create a fork of this project and let it be your own plugin manager.
|
|
There's no need for us to have a single canonical branch.
