vim-bundler

This gem provides a simple way to manage your vim bundles (aka plugins). If you are familiar with ruby gem bundler - you are familar with vim-bundler.

Requirements

git

Quick start

Switch to your vimfiles directory (e.g +~/.vim+) Initialize vim_bundles config file

vbundle init

Put some lines in your vim_bundles config file. For example:

bundle 'snipmate', :git => 'git://github.com/msanders/snipmate.vim.git'
bundle 'nerdtree', :git => 'git://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree.git'

Perform install action

vbundle install

All you bundles will appear in bundle dir.

After that you can clean your vimfiles directory from stale plugins

Using different bundle sources

You can use use git sources as shown above and also it is possible to load scripts from www.vim.org It can be done as following:

bundle 'indexed-search', :vim_script_id => 7062

value of vim_script_id can be found in download link. You also need to point location if the script originally requires another location than plugin

Also you can link local folders as bundles

bundle 'snipmate', :local => '~/projects/snipmate'

Updating bundles

It is quite easy

vbundle update

Also you can update a specific plugin

vbundle update snipmate

Cleaning bundles

It is also easy enough

vbundle clean

So you can clean a specific plugin

vbundle clean snipmate

As you can see, every command might be proceeded for specific plugin (except init)

Listing bundles

vbundle list

Managing bundles using git modules

It might be useful to attach plugins as git modules (for example if you keep your vimfiles at github.com), to do so put this line in your vim_bundles

use_git_submodules true

Configuration options

There are some options that you can define in vim_bundles file

use_git_submodules (default: false)
git_bin (default: 'git')
vimrc_file (default: 'vimrc')
vim_bin_path (default: '/usr/bin/vim')
bundles_dir (default: 'bundle')

Contributing to vim-bundler

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet

  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it

  • Fork the project

  • Start a feature/bugfix branch

  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution

  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
