Question: Keeping on top of updates to Pathogen.vim
mskadu opened this issue · comments
Firstly, thank you for this excellent script to help with automating my vim package management.
I am trying to automate my vim config+plugins management on Windows. I am using github to version control my changes across machines.
As per your instructions,
- the pathogen module placed under %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\autoload\
- any packages I need are kept under %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\bundle and configured as git submodules
And this works without a hitch.
The question - is there a way I can stay on top of it's latest revision (ideally via github)? I thought about git-cloning it into %USERPROFILE%\vimfiles\autoload, but that will create a sub-folder called autoload in there - which I don't think would be right?
Hope this makes sense?
This is from the FAQ in the README:
Can I put pathogen.vim in a submodule like all my other plugins?
Sure, stick it under ~/.vim/bundle, and prepend the following to your vimrc:
runtime bundle/vim-pathogen/autoload/pathogen.vim
I have my Pathogen set up this way. I manage it with all the rest of the submodules. In your case, replace ~/.vim with /vimfiles.
Yep!
