vim-blink

Vim plugin manager for blinkshell. Most vim plugin managers depend on the git cli, which is not available on blink. This plugin manager uses curl to download and install plugins from GitHub instead of git.

Add the following to ~/.vimrc to install:

let data_dir = expand('~/.vim')
if empty(glob(data_dir . '/autoload/blink.vim'))
    call mkdir(expand(data_dir."/autoload"),"p")
    silent execute '!curl -fLo ' . data_dir . '/autoload/blink.vim --create-dirs  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rrgeorge/vim-blink/main/blink.vim'
endif
call blink#init()

You can add Blink to activate plugins (and install as needed), like: Blink 'vim-airline/vim-airline'

To simply install without activating, you can use BlinkInstall, like: BlinkInstall 'vim-airline/vim-airline'

To check all plugins for updates, run :BlinkUpdate

My vimrc

This is the ~/.vimrc I am using on my devices. You can download it directly if you like, by running: curl -fLo ~/.vimrc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rrgeorge/vim-blink/master/vimrc
