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](https://raw.github.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/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('~/.vim/plugged')
|
|
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/seoul256.vim'
|
|
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()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reload .vimrc and `:PlugInstall` to install plugins.
|
|
|
|
### Plugin directory
|
|
|
|
If you omit the path argument to `plug#begin()`, 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.
|
|
|
|
### 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 |
|
|
|
|
### Options for parallel installer
|
|
|
|
| Flag | Default | Description |
|
|
| ---------------- | ------- | --------------------------------- |
|
|
| `g:plug_threads` | 16 | Default number of threads to use |
|
|
| `g:plug_timeout` | 60 | Time limit of each task in seconds |
|
|
|
|
### Example: A small [sensible](https://github.com/tpope/vim-sensible) Vim configuration
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
call plug#begin()
|
|
Plug 'tpope/vim-sensible'
|
|
call plug#end()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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, reload it, 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.

### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
#### Plugins are not installed/updated in parallel
|
|
|
|
Your Vim does not support Ruby interface. `:echo has('ruby')` should print 1.
|
|
In order to setup Vim with Ruby support, you may refer to [this
|
|
article](http://junegunn.kr/2013/09/installing-vim-with-ruby-support).
|
|
|
|
#### *Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV*
|
|
|
|
If your Vim crashes with the above message, first check if its Ruby interface is
|
|
working correctly with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
:ruby puts RUBY_VERSION
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If Vim crashes even with this command, it is likely that Ruby interface is
|
|
broken, and you have to rebuild Vim with a working version of Ruby.
|
|
(`brew remove vim && brew install vim` or `./configure && make ...`)
|
|
|
|
If you're on OS X, one possibility is that you had installed Vim with
|
|
[Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) while using a Ruby installed with
|
|
[RVM](http://rvm.io/) or [rbenv](https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv) and later
|
|
removed that version of Ruby.
|
|
|
|
[Please let me know](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug/issues) if you can't
|
|
resolve the problem. In the meantime, you can set `g:plug_threads` to 1, so that
|
|
Ruby installer is not used at all.
|
|
|
|
### 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.
