This article will explain in detail how to use Vundle to manage Vim plug-ins in Linux. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it for you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Preface

There is no doubt that Vim is a powerful general tool for text file processing, capable of managing system configuration files and writing code. Through plug-ins, Vim can be extended to different levels of functionality. Typically, all plug-ins and attached configuration files are stored in the ~ / .vim directory. Because all plug-in files are stored in the same directory, different plug-in files are confused with each other as you install more plug-ins. Therefore, tracking and managing them will be a terrifying task. However, this is exactly what Vundle can handle. Vundle, which stands for Vim and Bundle respectively, is an extremely useful tool for managing Vim plug-ins.

Vundle creates a separate directory tree for each plug-in you install and stores additional configuration files in the corresponding plug-in directory. Therefore, there are no confusing documents with each other. In short, Vundle allows you to install new plug-ins, configure existing ones, update plug-in configurations, search for installed plug-ins, and clean up unused plug-ins. All operations can be done in one-click interactive mode. In this easy tutorial, let me show you how to install Vundle and how to use it in GNU/Linux to manage Vim plug-ins.

Introduction to Vundle

Vundle is short for Vim bundle and is a Vim plug-in manager.

Vundle allows you to do...

Track and manage plug-ins in .vimrc

Install the plug-in in a specific format (a.k.a. Scripts/bundle)

Update a specific format plug-in

Search for plug-ins in Vim scripts by plug-in name

Clean up unused plug-ins

You can do this with a single button.

Vundle installation

If you need Vundle, I will assume that Vim has been installed in your system. If not, install Vim and git (download Vundle). These two packages are available in official repositories in most GNU/Linux distributions. For example, on Debian series systems, you can install these two packages using the following command.

Sudo apt-get install vim git

Download Vundle

Copy the GitHub warehouse address of Vundle:

Git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~ / .vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

Configure Vundle

Create a ~ / .vimrc file to inform Vim to use the new plug-in manager. This file is required to install, update, configure, and remove plug-ins.

Vim / .vimrc

At the top of this file, add the following lines:

Set nocompatible "be iMproved, required

Filetype off "required

"set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize

Set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim

Call vundle#begin ()

"alternatively, pass a path where Vundle should install plugins

"call vundle#begin ('~ / some/path/here')

"let Vundle manage Vundle, required

Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'

"The following are examples of different formats supported.

"Keep Plugin commands between vundle#begin/end.

"plugin on GitHub repo

Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'

"plugin from http://vim-scripts.org/vim/scripts.html

"Plugin 'L9'

"Git plugin not hosted on GitHub

Plugin 'git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git'

"git repos on your local machine (i.e. When working on your own plugin)

Plugin 'file:///home/gmarik/path/to/plugin'

"The sparkup vim script is in a subdirectory of this repo called vim.

"Pass the path to set the runtimepath properly.

Plugin 'rstacruz/sparkup', {' rtp': 'vim/'}

"Install L9 and avoid a Naming conflict if you've already installed a

"different version somewhere else.

"Plugin 'ascenator/L9', {' name': 'newL9'}

"All of your Plugins must be added before the following line

Call vundle#end () "required

Filetype plugin indent on "required

"To ignore plugin indent changes, instead use:

"filetype plugin on

"

"Brief help

": PluginList-lists configured plugins

": PluginInstall-installs plugins; append `! `to update or just: PluginUpdate

": PluginSearch foo-searches for foo; append `! `to refresh local cache

": PluginClean-confirms removal of unused plugins; append `! `to auto-approve removal

"

"see: h vundle for more details or wiki for FAQ

"Put your non-Plugin stuff after this line

The line marked "required" is the required configuration for Vundle. The rest of the lines are just examples. If you don't want to install those specific plug-ins, you can remove them. When you are finished, type: wq to save and exit.

Finally, open Vim:

Vim

Then type the following command to install the plug-in:

: PluginInstall

A new window will pop up and all the plug-ins we added to the .vimrc file will be installed automatically.

After installation, you can delete the cache and close the window by typing the following command:

: bdelete

You can also install the plug-in on the terminal without opening Vim using the following command:

Vim + PluginInstall + qall

Friends who use fish shell, add the following line to your .vimrc file.

Set shell=/bin/bash

Manage the Vim plug-in using Vundle

Add a new plug-in

First, search for available plug-ins using the following command:

: PluginSearch

To refresh the local list from the vimscripts website, add! after the command.

: PluginSearch!

A new window pops up with a list of available plug-ins:

You can also narrow your search by directly specifying the name of the plug-in.

: PluginSearch vim

This will list plug-ins that contain the keyword "vim".

Of course, you can also specify the exact plug-in name, such as:

: PluginSearch vim-dasm

Move the focus to the correct line and press I to install the plug-in. Now the selected plug-in will be installed.

Similarly, install all the plug-ins you want in your system. Once the installation is successful, delete the Vundle cache using the following command:

: bdelete

The plug-in is now installed. In order for the plug-in to load automatically correctly, we need to add the installed plug-in name to the .vimrc file.

Do this:

: e ~ / .vimrc

Add this line:

[...] Plugin 'vim-dasm' [...]

Replace vim-dasm with your own plug-in name. Then, click ESC and type: wq to save exit.

Note that all plug-ins must append the following to the .vimrc file.

[...] filetype plugin indent on

List installed plug-ins

List all installed plug-ins by typing the following command:

: PluginList

Update plug-in

Update the plug-in by typing the following command:

: PluginUpdate

Reinstall all plug-ins by typing the following command:

: PluginInstall!

Uninstall the plug-in

First, list all installed plug-ins:

: PluginList

Then focus on the correct line and press the SHITF+d key combination.

Then edit your .vimrc file:

: e ~ / .vimrc

Delete the plug-in portal. Finally, type: wq save exit.

Alternatively, you can uninstall the plug-in by removing the .vimrc file line where the plug-in is located and executing the following command:

: PluginClean

This command will remove all plug-ins that are not in your .vimrc file but exist in the bundle directory.

You should have mastered the basic methods of managing plug-ins for Vundle. Use the following command in Vim to query the help documentation for more details.
