Pathogen

Pathogen is a simple library for manipulating comma delimited path options.

The full list of functions includes:

• pathogen#split:

   convert a comma delimited option to an array
  

• pathogen#join:

   convert an array to a comma delimited option
  

• pathogen#glob:

   wrapper around glob() that returns an array
  

• pathogen#runtime_prepend_subdirectories:

   prepend all subdirectories of a path to the runtimepath and append all after subsubdirectories
  

• pathogen#runtime_append_all_bundles:

   for each directory in the runtime path, look for a "bundle" entry and add the subdirectories of it to the path, as with runtime_prepend_subdirectories
  

Install

1. cd ~/.vim/

2. If your .vim is versioned with git:

    git submodule add git://github.com/paulnicholson/vim-pathogen.git autoload
   

   or

    git clone git://github.com/paulnicholson/vim-pathogen.git autoload
   

3. Add the following to your vimrc:

    call pathogen#runtime_append_all_bundles()
   

After adding this, you can take any plugin, unzip/untar/svn-checkout/git-clone it to its own private directory in .vim/bundle, and it will be added to the runtime path. This makes it easy to remove or update each plugin individually.
