Vundle Setup

Vundle is a Vim plugin manager. It will help you keep track of the plugins you install with the ability of updating them as you go about adding more tools to vim that'll help you be more productive.

Setting up Vundle

  1. Go through the steps in the README.MD on the Vundle repo. https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim/blob/master/README.md

  2. After cloning Vundle into your ~/.vim directory, and copying the mentioned code into the top of your ~/.vimrc file. Search the web for plugins that you might be interested in. Here is a great link to some plugins you might be interested in adding: http://benmccormick.org/2014/07/21/learning-vim-in-2014-getting-more-from-vim-with-plugins/

  3. Remember, that all you need to do to add more plugins is to go into your ~/.vimrc file and add a plugin link like this: Plugin '[repo or site of plugin]'. For example, to add the NerdTree plugin, we modify ~/.vimrc to have a line that states: Plugin 'https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree' This adds a link to NerdTree's Github repo. To install NerdTree, all you have to do is go into Vim and write :PluginInstall and Vundle will open up to install all the plugins you have setup in your ~/.vimrc file.

Don't forget to look over the Vundle documentation if anything is unclear.
