## About
[Vundle] is a short cut for **V**imb**undle** and is a [Vim] plugin manager.
## Quick start
1. Setup [Vundle]:
git clone http://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/vundle.git
2. Configure bundles:
Put into your `~/.vimrc`:
set rtp+=~/.vim/vundle.git/
call vundle#rc()
" Bundles:
Bundle "L9"
Bundle "FuzzyFinder"
Bundle "rails.vim"
Bundle "ack.vim"
Bundle "git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git"
" ...
" NOTE: if some plugins fail to work, put the config *between* lines:
" filetype off
" "Bundles here
" filetype plugin indent on
3. Install configured bundles:
Launch `vim`, run `:BundleInstall` (**no `Vim` restart required** since v0.5)
Installing requires [Git] and triggers [Git clone](http://gitref.org/creating/#clone) for each configured repo to `~/.vim/bundle/`.
## 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] unused scripts up
- run above actions with *single keypress* using [interface] made a _Vim-way_
Also [Vundle]:
- manages runtime path of your installed scripts
- regenerates helptag atomatically
## Docs
see [`:h vundle`](vundle/blob/master/doc/vundle.txt#L1) vimdoc for more details.
## Examples
See [gmarik's vimrc](https://github.com/gmarik/vimfiles/blob/1f4f26d42f54443f1158e0009746a56b9a28b053/vimrc#L136) for working example.
## Inspiration and ideas from
* [pathogen]
* [bundler]
* [Scott Bronson](http://github.com/bronson)
## Also
* Vundle was developed and tested in [Vim] 7.3 on `OSX` and `Linux`
* Vundle wasn't tested on windows(so if you care i'm waiting for your pull request)
* Vundle tries to be as [KISS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) as possible
## TODO:
[Vundle] is a work in progress so any ideas/patches appreciated
* √ activate newly added bundles on .vimrc reload or after :BundleInstall
* √ use preview window for search results
* √ vim documentation
* improve error handling
* allow specify revision/version?
* search by description aswell
* show descrption in search results
* instead sourcing .vimrc before installation come up with another solution
* tests
* make it rock!
