My currently used Vim setup is based on the newer plugin management system called vim-plug.

There weren't very strong reasons to favor it over pathogen since both are pretty quick and easy to install and work very nicely. It's just that I wanted to give it a shot and I really liked it. Hope you enjoy it as well.

• Clone the repository

  $ git clone https://github.com/vivekiitkgp/Dotfiles-vim.git

• Symlink the .(g)vimrc files from this directory to your home directory.

• Open any (g)vim instance and run :PlugInstall. You may optionally have to clean the plugged directory using :PlugClean command (Don't worry if it shows a lot of errors. It's because the plugins haven't been setup yet). It will automatically clone and install all the relevant plugins into the plugged/ directory.

• Close and start again. You're done!

Few of the plugins require post installation compilation or bit manual managenement. For example, Valloric/YouCompleteMe requires a compiled component which one needs to compile on their machine. This can also be automated by providing suitable options with vim-plug. Please look at their documentation to learn how.

The rest of the settings should work out of the box.
