Vundle is short for Vim bundle and is a Vim plugin manager.

1. Set up Vundle:

   $ git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle 

2. Configure bundles:

   Sample .vimrc:

   set nocompatible " be iMproved filetype off " required! set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/ call vundle#rc() " let Vundle manage Vundle " required!  Bundle 'gmarik/vundle' " My bundles here: " " original repos on GitHub Bundle 'tpope/vim-fugitive' Bundle 'Lokaltog/vim-easymotion' Bundle 'rstacruz/sparkup', {'rtp': 'vim/'} Bundle 'tpope/vim-rails.git' " vim-scripts repos Bundle 'L9' Bundle 'FuzzyFinder' " non-GitHub repos Bundle 'git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git' " Git repos on your local machine (i.e. when working on your own plugin) Bundle 'file:///Users/gmarik/path/to/plugin' " ... filetype plugin indent on " required! " " Brief help " :BundleList - list configured bundles " :BundleInstall(!) - install (update) bundles " :BundleSearch(!) foo - search (or refresh cache first) for foo " :BundleClean(!) - confirm (or auto-approve) removal of unused bundles " " see :h vundle for more details or wiki for FAQ " NOTE: comments after Bundle commands are not allowed.

3. Install configured bundles:

   Launch vim, run :BundleInstall (or vim +BundleInstall +qall for CLI lovers)

   Windows users: see Vundle for Windows

   Installation requires Git and triggers git clone for each configured repo to ~/.vim/bundle/.

Vundle allows you to:

• keep track of and configure your scripts right in .vimrc
• install configured scripts (a.k.a. bundle)
• update configured scripts
• search by name all available Vim scripts
• clean unused scripts up
• run the above actions in a single keypress with interactive mode

Vundle also:

• manages the runtime path of your installed scripts
• regenerates help tags automatically

See the :h vundle Vimdoc for more details.

• Vundle was developed and tested with Vim 7.3 on OS X, Linux and Windows
• Vundle tries to be as KISS as possible

Vundle is a work in progress, so any ideas and patches are appreciated.

• ✓ activate newly added bundles on .vimrc reload or after :BundleInstall
• ✓ use preview window for search results
• ✓ Vim documentation
• ✓ put Vundle in bundles/ too (will fix Vundle help)
• ✓ tests
• ✓ improve error handling
• allow specifying revision/version?
• handle dependencies
• show description in search results
• search by description as well
• make it rock!
