Vim-plug is a Vim plug-in manager. We know that most editors now support plug-in extensions, which extend the functionality of editors through plug-ins. The vim editor also supports plug-ins, and its plug-ins are numerous, with very cool and high-end plug-ins. The plug-in of vim is an extension of vim function written by vimscript or other languages.
