Martin Lundberg b49939a951 Some documentation fixes and changes
1. Fixed some lines which were wider than 78 characters.
2. Added a couple of more borders above all the sub-sections.
3. Moved about part above the TOC, seems unnecessary to have that as its
own section when it's so small. This also look more like a  default vim
help file.
4. Changed "NOTE:" into "Note that" because that is more like how it's
used in default vim files.
5. Changed some wording like "the plug-in manager" to "a
plug-in manager".
6. Moved a couple of *tag names* below their headings so it's like that
everywhere in the file.

=============================================================================
1. 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]
=============================================================================
2. QUICK START ~
*vundle-quickstart*
1) Setup Vundle: >
git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle
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'
" git repos on your local machine (ie. when working on your own plugin)
Bundle 'file:///Users/gmarik/path/to/plugin'
" ...
filetype plugin indent on " required!
" or
" filetype plugin on " to not use the indentation settings set
" by plugins
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/`.
=============================================================================
3. SCRIPTS ~
*vundle-scripts*
3.1 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 that Vundle defaults to http:// protocol for the short URIs.
3.2 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 that the installation, as just described, doesn't
automatically configure scripts; you have to configure them manually.
3.3 UPDATE SCRIPTS ~
*vundle-scripts-update* *BundleInstall!*
run >
:BundleInstall! " NOTE: bang(!)
installs or updates configured scripts.
press u after updates complete to see the changelog of all updated bundles.
3.4 SEARCHING ~
*vundle-scripts-search* *BundleSearch*
run >
:BundleSearch foo
lists bundles matching 'foo' in new a new split window, ie:
>
Bundle "VimFootnotes"
Bundle "foo.vim"
>
and >
:BundleSearch! foo
refreshes script list before performing actual search.
If command is run without argument: >
:BundleSearch!
it will display all known scripts
Searching requires [`curl`](http://curl.haxx.se/)
3.5 LISTING BUNDLES ~
*vundle-scripts-list* *BundleList*
To quickly pull list of installed bundles use >
:BundleList
3.6 CLEANING UP ~
*vundle-scripts-cleanup* *BundleClean*
run >
:BundleClean
confirms removal of unused script-dirs from `.vim/bundle/`.
*BundleClean!*
>
:BundleClean!
removes unused dirs with no questions.
=============================================================================
4. INTERACTIVE MODE ~
*vundle-interactive*
Vundle provides simple interactive mode to help you explore new scripts
easily. Interactive mode is available as result of any commands that display
list of bundles. For instance, running: >
:BundleSearch! 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 actions may be
applied to selected bundles. Move cursor over line `Bundle 'unite.vim'` and
press i key (install, see |vundle-keymappings| for more details). After
unite.vim is installed - `:Unite file` command should be available to prove
'unite.vim' availability.
Note that the interactive installation doesn't update your .vimrc
configuration.
=============================================================================
5. KEY MAPPINGS ~
*vundle-keymappings*
KEY | DESCRIPTION
----|-------------------------- >
i | run :BundleInstall with name taken from line cursor is positioned on
I | same as i, but runs :BundleInstall! to update bundle
D | delete selected bundle( be careful not to remove local modifications)
c | run :BundleClean
s | run :BundleSearch
R | fetch fresh script list from server
.
=============================================================================
6. OPTIONS ~
*vundle-options*
let g:vundle_default_git_proto = 'git'
makes Vundle use `git` instead default `https` when building absolute repo URIs
