## About
[Vundle] is short for **V**imb**undle** and is a [Vim] plugin manager.
## Quick start
1. Setup [Vundle]:
```console
$ git clone http://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle
```
2. Configure bundles:
Sample `.vimrc`:
```vim
set nocompatible " be iMproved
filetype off " required!
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/
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!
" or
" filetype plugin on " to not use the indentation settings set by plugins
```
3. Install configured bundles:
Launch `vim`, run `:BundleInstall`.
*Windows users* see [Vundle for Windows](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle/wiki/Vundle-for-Windows)
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] by name [all available vim scripts]
- [clean] unused scripts up
- run above actions in a *single keypress* with [interactive mode]
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.
If you have an interesting example, feel free to send a pull request with link to your config. Thx!
## FAQ
- **Q** Why am I asked for username/pass?
**A** This is the case of invalid name used with `Bundle`, which leads to attempt to clone nonexistent repo:
```console
git clone http://github.com/gmarik/non_existin_repo
Cloning into non_existin_repo...
Username:
Password:
fatal: Authentication failed
```
- **Q** My configuration is bundle dependant, so when I try to install plugins for the first time I get errors. How do I fix that?

## Inspiration and ideas from
* [pathogen]
* [bundler]
* [Scott Bronson](http://github.com/bronson)
## Also
* Vundle was developed and tested with [Vim] 7.3 on `OSX`, `Linux` and `Windows`
* 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
* √ put vundle to bundles/ too(will fix vundle help)
* √ tests
* improve error handling
* handle dependencies
* allow specify revision/version?
* search by description as well
* show description in search results
* instead sourcing .vimrc before installation come up with another solution
* make it rock!
