### Installation
|
|
|
|
[Download plug.vim](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim)
|
|
and put it in the "autoload" directory.
|
|
|
|
#### Vim
|
|
|
|
###### Unix
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
|
|
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can automate the process by putting the command in your Vim configuration
|
|
file as suggested [here][auto].

### Usage
|
|
|
|
Add a vim-plug section to your `~/.vimrc` (or `stdpath('config') . '/init.vim'` for Neovim)
|
|
|
|
1. Begin the section with `call plug#begin()`
|
|
1. List the plugins with `Plug` commands
|
|
1. `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.
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
" Specify a directory for plugins
|
|
" - For Vim (Linux/macOS): '~/.vim/plugged'
|
|
" - For Vim (Windows): '~/vimfiles/plugged'
|
|
" - For Neovim (Linux/macOS/Windows): stdpath('data') . '/plugged'
|
|
" - Avoid using standard Vim directory names like 'plugin'
|
|
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
|
|
|
|
" Make sure you use single quotes
|
|
|
|

|
|
Plug 'tpope/vim-sensible'
|
|
call plug#end()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### On-demand loading of plugins
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
" NERD tree will be loaded on the first invocation of NERDTreeToggle command
|
|
Plug 'scrooloose/nerdtree', { 'on': 'NERDTreeToggle' }
|
|
|
|
" Multiple commands
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/vim-github-dashboard', { 'on': ['GHDashboard', 'GHActivity'] }
|
|
|
|
" Loaded when clojure file is opened
|
|
Plug 'tpope/vim-fireplace', { 'for': 'clojure' }
|
|
|
|
" Multiple file types
|
|
Plug 'kovisoft/paredit', { 'for': ['clojure', 'scheme'] }
|
|
|
|
" On-demand loading on both conditions
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/vader.vim', { 'on': 'Vader', 'for': 'vader' }
|
|
|
|
" Code to execute when the plugin is lazily loaded on demand
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/goyo.vim', { 'for': 'markdown' }
|
|
autocmd! User goyo.vim echom 'Goyo is now loaded!'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `for` option is generally not needed as most plugins for specific file types
|
|
usually don't have too much code in the `plugin` directory. You might want to
|
|
examine the output of `vim --startuptime` before applying the option.
|
|
|
|
### Post-update hooks
|
|
|
|
There are some plugins that require extra steps after installation or update.
|
|
In that case, use the `do` option to describe the task to be performed.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
Plug 'Shougo/vimproc.vim', { 'do': 'make' }
|
|
Plug 'ycm-core/YouCompleteMe', { 'do': './install.py' }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the value starts with `:`, it will be recognized as a Vim command.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
Plug 'fatih/vim-go', { 'do': ':GoInstallBinaries' }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you need more control, you can pass a reference to a Vim function that
|
|
takes a single argument.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
function! BuildYCM(info)
|
|
" info is a dictionary with 3 fields
|
|
" - name: name of the plugin
|
|
" - status: 'installed', 'updated', or 'unchanged'
|
|
" - force: set on PlugInstall! or PlugUpdate!
|
|
if a:info.status == 'installed' || a:info.force
|
|
!./install.py
|
|
endif
|
|
endfunction
|
|
|
|
Plug 'ycm-core/YouCompleteMe', { 'do': function('BuildYCM') }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both forms of post-update hook are executed inside the directory of the plugin
|
|
and only run when the repository has changed, but you can force it to run
|
|
unconditionally with the bang-versions of the commands: `PlugInstall!` and
|
|
`PlugUpdate!`.
|
|
|
|
Make sure to escape BARs and double-quotes when you write the `do` option inline
|
|
as they are mistakenly recognized as command separator or the start of the
|
|
trailing comment.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': 'yes \| ./install' }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
But you can avoid the escaping if you extract the inline specification using a
|
|
variable (or any Vimscript expression) as follows:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:fzf_install = 'yes | ./install'
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': g:fzf_install }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `PlugInstall!` and `PlugUpdate!`
|
|
|
|
The installer takes the following steps when installing/updating a plugin:
|
|
|
|
1. `git clone` or `git fetch` from its origin
|
|
2. Check out branch, tag, or commit and optionally `git merge` remote branch
|
|
3. If the plugin was updated (or installed for the first time)
|
|
1. Update submodules
|
|
2. Execute post-update hooks
|
|
|
|
The commands with the `!` suffix ensure that all steps are run unconditionally.
