Easiest vim plugin management?

2 years ago by naught101 to c/vim

I would like to manage plugins in the lowest-touch way possible, and ideally one that's easy to migrate to other machines.

I like the idea of the internal plugin manager, but that generally means that I need to manually all the git repos on all machines. It also makes tracking plugins that I'm testing a bit annoying.

The alternative seems to be vundle or vim-plug, which do the git management, but don't use the internal plugin system.

Are there other options? What's the easiest these days?

I already use pathogen, but it doesn't do the git management that I want. I guess I could use hit in my .vim directory with submodules, but it seems like overkill, and managing updates is still annoying.

The point isn't so much the updates as ensuring all the plugins are installed the same way across 3+ systems (2 home computers, one work one, sometimes some servers)

I share some parts of my vimrc on a distributed drive (ie DropBox) and just include it among all my machines to avoid editing X vimrcs. Maybe that may work for you as well?

I keep most of my dotfiles like this, tbh.

Oh damn, that's a really good idea. Thanks!
