ABOUT                                              *vundle-about*

Vundle is a short cut for Vim bundle and is the Vim plug-in manager.

2. WHY VUNDLE ~
                                                   *vundle-why-vundle*
Vundle allows to:

- keep track and configure your scripts right in `.vimrc`
- install configured scripts (aka bundle) 
- update configured scripts
- search [all available vim scripts] by name
- clean up from unused scripts

Also *Vundle* :

- manages runtime path of your installed scripts
- regenerates helptags automatically

Vundle takes advantage of [vim-scripts.org](http://vim-scripts.org) 
in order to install/search [all available vim scripts]

3. QUICK START ~
                                                    *vundle-quickstart*
1) Setup Vundle: >

    git clone http://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/vundle.git

2) Configure bundles:

   Sample `.vimrc`: >

     set nocompatible               " be iMproved
     filetype off                   " required!

     set rtp+=~/.vim/vundle.git/ 
     call vundle#rc()

     " let Vundle manage Vundle
     Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'

     " My Bundles here:
     "
     " original repos on github
     Bundle 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
     Bundle 'lokaltog/vim-easymotion'
     Bundle 'rstacruz/sparkup', {'rtp': 'vim/'}
     " vim-scripts repos
     Bundle 'L9'
     Bundle 'FuzzyFinder'
     Bundle 'rails.vim'
     " non github repos
     Bundle 'git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git'
     " ...

     filetype plugin indent on     " required!

<  (You may also use "filetype plugin on" as the last line if you don't want
   to use the indentation feature of the filetype system.)

3) Install configured bundles:

   Launch `vim`, run >

    :BundleInstall

Installing requires [Git] and triggers [Git clone](http://gitref.org/creating/#clone) for 
each configured repo to `~/.vim/bundle/`.

4. SCRIPTS ~
                                                    *vundle-scripts*
4.1 CONFIGURE SCRIPTS ~
                                      *vundle-scripts-configure* *Bundle*
Before installing scripts they need to be configured. It's done using `Bundle`
command in `.vimrc`: >

    Bundle 'git_repo_uri'       " 'git_repo_uri' should be a valid uri to git repository 
or >
    Bundle 'script_name'        " 'script-name' should be an official script name (see |vundle-scripts-search| )

Vundle loves Github, that's why short uris can be used with commands: >

    Bundle 'tpope/vim-fugitive'

equals full uri >

    Bundle 'http://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive.git'

NOTE: Vundle defaults to http:// protocol for the short URIs


4.2 INSTALL SCRIPTS ~
                                      *vundle-scripts-install* *BundleInstall*
run >
    :BundleInstall

installs configured scripts. Newly installed scripts will be automatically
enabled. Except special cases requiring compilation or pre-configuration.

BundleInstall allows to install scripts by name:>

    :BundleInstall unite.vim

installs and activates unite.vim. You can use Tab to auto-complete known script names.
NOTE: installation, as just described, doesn't automatically configure scripts; 
you have to configure them manually.

4.3 UPDATE SCRIPTS ~
                                      *vundle-scripts-update* *BundleInstall!*
run >
    :BundleInstall!             " NOTE: bang(!)

installs or updates configured scripts.

4.4 SEARCHING ~
                                       *vundle-scripts-search* *BundleSearch*
run >
    :Bundles foo                " NOTE: plural Bundles not singular Bundle

lists bundles matching 'foo' in new a new split window, ie:
>
    Bundle "VimFootnotes"
    Bundle "foo.vim"
>
and >

    :Bundles! foo

refreshes script list before performing actual search.

If command is run without argument: >

    :Bundles!

it will display all known scripts

Searching requires [`curl`](http://curl.haxx.se/)

4.5 CLEANING UP ~
                                     *vundle-scripts-cleanup* *BundleClean*
run >

    :BundleClean

requires confirmation before removal of unused script-dirs from your `.vim/bundle`. 

                                                            *BundleClean!*
>
    :BundleClean! 

removes unused scripts with no questions.

                                     *vundle-interactive*
5. INTERACTIVE MODE ~

Vundle provides simple interactive mode to help you explore new scripts easily.
Interactive mode is available as result of :Bundles command. For instance, running: >

    :Bundles! unite

triggers search for scripts matching 'unite' and yields a split window with
content: >

    "Keymap: i - Install bundle; c - Cleanup; r - Refine list; R - Reload list
    "Search results for: unite
    Bundle 'unite.vim'
    Bundle 'unite-yarm'
    Bundle 'unite-gem'
    Bundle 'unite-locate'
    Bundle 'unite-font'
    Bundle 'unite-colorscheme'

As the first line(starting with `"Keymap:`) shows 
certain Vundle commands can be triggered with single keypress, ie:

KEY | DESCRIPTION
----|-------------------------- >
 i  |  run :BundleInstall with name taken from line cursor is positioned on
 c  |  run :BundleCleanup
 r  |  refine list; requires a string to refine list with
 R  |  fetch fresh script list from server

Now move cursor over line `Bundle 'unite.vim'` and press i key(install). 
After unite.vim script is installed - `:Unite file` command should be
available to prove 'unite.vim' availability.

NOTE: Interactive installation doesn't update your .vimrc configuration.
