Plugin Management

Vim Plugins (vim-plug)

# Or inside vim: :PlugUpdate

Install new plugin:

1. Add Plug 'author/plugin-name' to vimrc between call plug#begin() and call plug#end()
2. Run :PlugInstall in vim

Remove plugin:

1. Delete the Plug line from vimrc
2. Run :PlugClean in vim

Tmux Plugins (TPM)

Update all plugins:

~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/bin/update_plugins all
# Or in tmux: prefix + U (Ctrl-b then Shift-U)

Key bindings in tmux:

• prefix + I - Install new plugins
• prefix + U - Update plugins
• prefix + alt + u - Uninstall plugins

Add new plugin:

1. Add set -g @plugin 'author/plugin-name' to tmux.conf
2. Press prefix + I in tmux or run ./install_tmux_plugins.sh
