adding a package

Here is an example of how to add a package using Vim’s native approach to packages and git submodules.

cd ~/dotfiles
git submodule init
git submodule add https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline.git vim/pack/shapeshed/start/vim-airline
git add .gitmodules vim/pack/shapeshed/start/vim-airline
git commit

updating packages

To update packages is also just a case of updating git submodules.

git submodule update --remote --merge
git commit

removing a package

Removing a package is just a case of removing the git submodule.

git submodule deinit vim/pack/shapeshed/start/vim-airline
git rm vim/pack/shapeshed/start/vim-airline
rm -Rf .git/modules/vim/pack/shapeshed/start/vim-airline
git commit
