How to Manage your vim plugins

How to manage your vim plugin files?

I think the most popular 2 ways are pathogen and Vundle.Now I will show you both

1.pathogen

links:https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen

How to Install pathogen: so easy

• step1

  mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload

  mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle

  curl -LSso ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim https://tpo.pe/pathogen.vim

• step2

  add this to your vimrc

  call pathogen#infect()  

Now You Have Finished Installation

Let Us Try An Example

It seems every vim plugin has a github url:
for example if you want to install vim-markdown

the url:https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown

• step1 cd ~/.vim/bundle
• step2 git clone https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown.git
• step3 vim a example md to check your installation

2.Vundle

Vundle is short for vim bundle and is a vim plugin manager

link:https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim

How to Install Vundle:also easy

• step1 mkdir -p ~/.vim/bundle
• step2 cd ~/.vim/bundle

• step3 git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git

• step4 add this to your at the top to your vimrc:

set nocompatible              " be iMproved, requiredfiletype off                  " requiredset rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vimcall vundle#begin()""""""""""""""""""""""""""Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'Plugin 'git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git'Plugin 'file:///home/gmarik/path/to/plugin'Plugin 'rstacruz/sparkup', {'rtp': 'vim/'}"""""""""""""""""""""""""""call vundle#end()             filetype plugin indent on    

The Plugin in “”“”” is the demo you want to install

For example:

If you want to install vim-markdown
You Find the github link is:
https://github.com/plasticboy/vim-markdown

So Your vimrc is like this:

set nocompatible              " be iMproved, requiredfiletype off                  " requiredset rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vimcall vundle#begin()""""""""""""""""""""""""""Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'Plugin 'plasticboy/vim-markdown'"""""""""""""""""""""""""""call vundle#end()             filetype plugin indent on    ... Your other config

And You Save this file And vim without file(Launch vim )and run

:PluginInstall 

Then you can see the Installation is beginning.
The disadvantage is that you can not see the progress bar
