vim-plug
is a VIM plug-in manager to install themes and other plug-ins in VIM. It’s the most populair one at the moment.
Installation
To install vim-plug
you can go over to https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug and run the following command:
$ curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim
This will create a autoload directory and place plug.vim
in it.
Configuration
To enable the loading of plug-ins you need to add the loading code to your vimrc
. If you already have one you can add it with:
$ vim ~/.vimrc
Add:
# vimrc
call plug#begin()
Plug 'tpope/vim-sensible'
call plug#end()
Installing a theme
I installed vim-plug
to easily add a theme to my vim setup. I chose the theme https://github.com/sonph/onehalf/tree/master/vim
You can install the theme by adding the plug to you vimrc
# vimrc
call plug#begin()
Plug 'tpope/vim-sensible'
Plug 'sonph/onehalf', { 'rtp': 'vim' }
call plug#end()
colorscheme onehalfdark
let g:airline_theme='onehalfdark'
Info: When using and installing new plug’s you might need to update plug from vim commando mode with: :PlugUpdate
