miv

Vim plugin manager written in Haskell

The miv is a command line tool for managing Vim plugins with a single YAML configuration file. The motivation of this tool is

to generate a Vim plugin loader files in Vim script
- A plugin manager written in Vim script build script code and evaluates it on editor startup. But the executed commands do not change unless the user's configurations do not change. Instead of building the commands on editor startup, miv generates static plugin loader scripts after plugin installation.
to provide a declarative way to manage Vim plugins
- Various loading triggers, script configurations and loading dependency can be defined.
to provide a command line tool which is friendly to interact with other tools
- You can easily update the Vim plugins in cron schedule or from shell script.

Installation

Homebrew

brew install itchyny/tap/miv

Build with stack

git clone https://github.com/itchyny/miv.git && cd miv && stack install

User guide

Add the miv plugin path to runtimepath in your .vimrc.
Create miv configuration file at ~/.vimrc.yaml. (or ~/.vim/.vimrc.yaml, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/miv/config.yaml)
Execute miv install.

Example vimrc:

filetype off
if has('vim_starting')
  set rtp^=~/.vim/miv/miv
  " or when you set $XDG_DATA_HOME,
  " set rtp^=$XDG_DATA_HOME/miv/miv
endif
filetype plugin indent on

Example miv configuration file (refer to .vimrc.yaml for how the author configures):
