- an [[extension]]. - there's a lot of [[plugin managers]] for [[vim]] but I tend to use [[vundle]] as it seems to work fine for me, and my .vimrc has all the 'Plugin' directives already. - in a new machine, I just need to do: ``` git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim ``` And then in vim/[[nvim]]: `:PluginInstall`
