## About

[Vundle] is a short cut for **V**imb**undle** and is a small plugin for managing [Vim] plugins.

## Why
[Vundle] allows to:

- keep track and configure your scripts right in <code>.vimrc</code>
- install configured scripts (aka bundle) 
- manage runtime path of your installed scripts so you don't have to
- search [all available vim scripts] by name
- disable/enable bundles by commenting/uncommenting configured Bundle(requires reload)

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

## How

1. Setup [Vundle]:

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

2. Configure bundles:

   Append to your <code>~/.vimrc</code>:

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

        " My bundles
        Bundle "L9"
        Bundle "FuzzyFinder"
        Bundle "rails.vim"
        Bundle "ack.vim"
        Bundle "git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git"

3. Install configured bundles:

   Launch <code>vim</code>, run <code>:BundleInstall</code> and **restart Vim**. 

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


## Searching

    :BundleSearch foo

will split new window with results:

    Bundle "VimFootnotes"
    Bundle "foo.vim"

so you can just copy ones you need to <code>.vimrc</code>.

    :BundleSearch! foo

will refresh scripts list before doing search.

Searching requires [<code>curl</code>](http://curl.haxx.se/)

## Examples

   See [gmarik's vimrc](https://github.com/gmarik/vimfiles/blob/1f4f26d42f54443f1158e0009746a56b9a28b053/vimrc#L136) for working example.

## TODO:
[Vundle] is a work in progress so any ideas/patches appreciated

* activate newly added bundles on .vimrc reload or after :BundleInstall
* improve error handling
* allow specify revision/version?
* search by description aswell
* show descrption in search results
* √ use preview window for search results
* documentation
* tests
* make it rock!
