## About
[Vundle] is short for _Vim bundle_ and is a [Vim] plugin manager.
![Vundle-installer](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8m96w06G81r39828o1_1280.png)
## Quick start
1. Set up [Vundle]:
```
$ git clone https://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
" required!
Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'
" My bundles here:
"
" original repos on GitHub
Bundle 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Bundle 'Lokaltog/vim-easymotion'
Bundle 'rstacruz/sparkup', {'rtp': 'vim/'}
Bundle 'tpope/vim-rails.git'
" vim-scripts repos
Bundle 'L9'
Bundle 'FuzzyFinder'
" non-GitHub repos
Bundle 'git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git'
" Git repos on your local machine (i.e. when working on your own plugin)
Bundle 'file:///Users/gmarik/path/to/plugin'
" ...
filetype plugin indent on " required!
"
" Brief help
" :BundleList - list configured bundles
" :BundleInstall(!) - install (update) bundles
" :BundleSearch(!) foo - search (or refresh cache first) for foo
" :BundleClean(!) - confirm (or auto-approve) removal of unused bundles
"
" see :h vundle for more details or wiki for FAQ
" NOTE: comments after Bundle commands are not allowed.
```
3. Install configured bundles:
Launch `vim`, run `:BundleInstall`
(or `vim +BundleInstall +qall` for CLI lovers)
*Windows users*: see [Vundle for Windows](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle/wiki/Vundle-for-Windows)
Installation requires [Git] and triggers [`git clone`](http://gitref.org/creating/#clone) for each configured repo to `~/.vim/bundle/`.
## Why Vundle
[Vundle] allows you to:
- keep track of and configure your scripts right in `.vimrc`
- [install] configured scripts (a.k.a. bundle)
- [update] configured scripts
- [search] by name [all available Vim scripts]
- [clean] unused scripts up
- run the above actions in a *single keypress* with [interactive mode]
[Vundle] also:
- manages the [runtime path] of your installed scripts
- [regenerates help tags][helptags] automatically
## Docs
See the [`:h vundle`](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle/blob/master/doc/vundle.txt) Vimdoc for more details.

*Thank you!*
## Inspiration and ideas from
* [pathogen.vim]
* [Bundler]
* [Scott Bronson](http://github.com/bronson)
## Also
* Vundle was developed and tested with [Vim] 7.3 on OS X, 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 and patches are appreciated.
* ✓ activate newly added bundles on `.vimrc` reload or after `:BundleInstall`
* ✓ use preview window for search results
* ✓ Vim documentation
* ✓ put Vundle in `bundles/` too (will fix Vundle help)
* ✓ tests
* ✓ improve error handling
* allow specifying revision/version?
* handle dependencies
* show description in search results
* search by description as well
* make it rock!
