Vimogen is perhaps the easiest way to install, remove and update Vim plugins.

Essentially a Pathogen bundle manager for vim plugins, by way of a shell script that updates your Git checkouts, Vimogen can install or update all of your plugins at once.

Create a text file in your home directory called .vimogen_repos (or let vimogen generate one for you) and put git URLs to Vim plugins in it, one line at a time, like:

    https://github.com/fatih/vim-go
    https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround
    https://github.com/tpope/vim-rails
    ...

Fortunately, all of the plug-ins on vim.org are mirrored on Github here: https://github.com/vim-scripts/

Running vimogen will give you the option to install, update, or uninstall the Vim plugins you specified in .vimogen_repos:

    1) INSTALL
    2) UNINSTALL
    3) UPDATE
    4) EXIT
    Enter the number of the menu option to perform: 1

If you choose INSTALL, then it will a "git clone" on each of the git repositories that you specified in ~/.vimogen_repos into your Pathogen dir (~/.vim/bundle). It will skip any directories that already exist. You can also append new plugin repos to the .vimogen_repos file later and install them incrementally by re-running Vimogen\\'s install command.

If you choose 2 to UNINSTALL, it will give you a list of all your plugins to choose from:

    1) EXIT
    2) ctrlp
    3) nerdtree
    4) pydiction
    5) vim-fugitive
    6) vim-surround
    7) ZenCoding
    Enter the number of the plugin you wish to uninstall:

If you choose UPDATE, then it will run a "git pull" on all your bundles. This way you can stay up-to-date with all the new features the plugin authors create, just by re-running this command often.

You can also update from the command-line (useful in scripts) with:

    $ vimogen update

To see a list of what plugins your vimogen_repos file currently contains:

    $ vimogen heap
 
install details
     $ git clone https://github.com/rkulla/vimogen
     $ cp vimogen to your $PATH and make sure it's executable
