Dein.vim is a dark powered Vim/Neovim plugin manager.
To learn more details, visit here.
- Fast - Faster than NeoBundle.
- Simple - Function API and familiar patterns, without commands or dependency hell.
- Async - Clean asynchronous installation supported.
- Extendable - Supports plugins from local or remote sources, and also Non-Github plugins.
- Consistent - Go-like directory structure (eg. github.com/{author}/{repository})
- Practical - Automatically merge plugins directories to avoid long runtimepath
- Vim (v8.2 or higher) or NeoVim (v0.8.0 or higher)
- Git should be installed (v2.4.11 or higher)
You can install dein.vim by your vimrc/init.vim.
let $CACHE = expand('~/.cache')
if !isdirectory($CACHE)
call mkdir($CACHE, 'p')
endif
if &runtimepath !~# '/dein.vim'
let s:dein_dir = fnamemodify('dein.vim', ':p')
if !isdirectory(s:dein_dir)
let s:dein_dir = $CACHE .. '/dein/repos/github.com/Shougo/dein.vim'
if !isdirectory(s:dein_dir)
execute '!git clone https://github.com/Shougo/dein.vim' s:dein_dir

- Other types support (zip, svn, hg, ...)
- Metadata repository support
- Require neovim 0.10+ or Vim 9.0+(to use interpolated-string)
