vim-plug

A single-file Vim plugin manager.

Somewhere between Pathogen and Vundle, but with faster parallel installer.

Pros.

• Easier to setup
• Parallel installation/update (requires +ruby)
• Smallest possible feature set

Cons.

• Everything else

Usage

Download plug.vim and put it in ~/.vim/autoload

mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload
curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim https://raw.github.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Edit your .vimrc

call plug#begin()

Plug 'junegunn/seoul256'
Plug 'junegunn/vim-easy-align'
" Plug 'user/repo', 'branch_or_tag'
" 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 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
