description

A lightweight Vim plugin manager that uses Git submodules and Vim 8's native package system. https://github.com/log0u7/vim-plugin-manager Features : - Manage plugins through Git submodules - Easy installation, removal, and updating of plugins - Automatic generation of helptags - Backup your entire Vim configuration to multiple remote repositories - Works with Vim 8's native package loading system - Full Git integration for plugin versioning - Support for optional (lazy-loaded) plugins - Interactive sidebar interface - Modern, non-blocking UI with spinners (operations never freeze the editor) - Asynchronous operations for better performance Requirements : - Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Gentoo, RHEL/AlmaLinux/Rocky). - Git 2.39+ - Vim 8.2+ (with `+job` and `+channel`; falls back to synchronous execution otherwise) Supported platforms and minimum Vim version : The minimum Vim version is 8.2 and will not be raised without a concrete reason. The floor is set by RHEL 9 and its binary-compatible clones c(AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9), which ship **Vim 8.2.2637**. RHEL 9 is supported by Red Hat until 2032 and is the dominant enterprise release in the project's target environment. The codebase uses only legacy VimScript and no Vim 9.0+ features. A vim9script migration is explicitly deferred: the dominant cost of this plugin is git and network I/O, not script execution, so the rewrite would have no measurable benefit (YAGNI). The `if v:version < 802` guard in `plugin/plugin_manager.vim` is therefore correct and intentional. | Distribution | Vim version | | RHEL 9 / AlmaLinux 9 / Rocky 9 | 8.2.2637 (the floor) | | AlmaLinux 10 (RHEL 10 proxy) | 9.1.083 | | Debian 12 Bookworm | 9.0.1378 | | Debian 13 Trixie | 9.1.1230 | | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS | 9.1.0016 | | Ubuntu 26.04 LTS | 9.1.2141 | | Arch Linux (rolling) | 9.2.0735 (the ceiling) |
