About

Vundle is a short cut for Vimbundle and is a Vim plugin manager.

Quick start

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

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

Install configured bundles:

Launch vim, run :BundleInstall.

Windows users see Vundle for Windows

Installing requires Git and triggers Git 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 in a single keypress with interactive mode

Also Vundle:

manages runtime path of your installed scripts
regenerates helptag atomatically

Docs

see :h vundle vimdoc for more details.

Examples

See gmarik's vimrc for working example.

Inspiration and ideas from

Also

Vundle was developed and tested with Vim 7.3 on OSX, Linux and Windows
Vundle tries to be as KISS 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
tests
improve error handling
:VundleUpdate - self.update
handle dependencies
allow specify revision/version?
search by description aswell
show descrption in search results
instead sourcing .vimrc before installation come up with another solution
make it rock!
