| Plugin Location | Usage |
|---|---|
| plugin on GitHub | Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive' |
| plugin from http://vim-scripts.org/vim/scripts.html | Plugin 'L9' |
| Git plugin not hosted on GitHub | Plugin 'git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git' |
| git repos on your local machine (i.e. when working on your own plugin) | Plugin 'file:///home/gmarik/path/to/plugin' |
| The sparkup vim script is in a subdirectory of this repo called vim. Pass the path to set the runtimepath properly. | Plugin 'rstacruz/sparkup', {'rtp': 'vim/'} |
| Install L9 and avoid a Naming conflict if you've already installed a different version somewhere else. | Plugin 'ascenator/L9', {'name': 'newL9'} |
Working on a shared account, for example, on cluster head node can raise issues from the point of disk usage by .vim directory. There are a couple of packages which take considerable amount of disk space, for example YCM. So please choose your Vundle plugin directory wisely, and its very easy to do so by setting rtp. And also if you are planning to install any vim plugin, don't directly do git clone in the bundle directory. Use the Vundle way.
