I’ve been using Vundle to manage my vim plugins for past years. Vundle is still good but I’m just wondering which is good for managing vim plugins in now a days. See this compared post. as you can see, many people recommand to use Vim-plug, so I aim to install Vim-plug in my new machine.
Vim-plug is a free, open source, very fast, minimalist vim plugin manager.
Setting up
Download plug.vim and put it in the “autoload” directory.
$ curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
Installing plugins
Open ~/.vimrc and declare the list of plugins you want to use in your Vim configuration file.
- Begin the section with call plug#begin()
- List the plugins with Plug commands
- call plug#end() to update &runtimepath and initialize plugin system
- Automatically executes filetype plugin indent on and syntax enable. You can revert the settings after the call. e.g. filetype indent off, syntax off, etc.
" Plugins will be downloaded under the specified directory.
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
" Declare the list of plugins.
"Vim color scheme
Plug 'junegunn/seoul256.vim'
" List ends here. Plugins become visible to Vim after this call.
call plug#end()
Reload vimrc(:source ~/.vimrc) and :PlugInstall to install plugins.
