Dein.vim is a dark powered Vim/Neovim plugin manager.
Note: Active developement on dein.vim has stopped. The only future changes will be bug fixes.
Please see Dpp.vim

- Fast - Faster than NeoBundle.
- Simple - Function API and familiar patterns, without commands or dependency hell.
- Async - Clean asynchronous installation supported.
- Extendable - Supports plugins from local or remote sources, and also Non-Github plugins.
- Consistent - Go-like directory structure (eg. github.com/{author}/{repository})
- Practical - Automatically merge plugins directories to avoid long runtimepath
- Vim (v8.2 or higher) or NeoVim (v0.8.0 or higher)
- Git should be installed (v2.4.11 or higher)
You can install dein.vim by your vimrc/init.vim.
let $CACHE = expand('~/.cache')
if !($CACHE->isdirectory())
call mkdir($CACHE, 'p')
endif
if &runtimepath !~# '/dein.vim'
let s:dir = 'dein.vim'->fnamemodify(':p')
if !(s:dir->isdirectory())
let s:dir = $CACHE .. '/dein/repos/github.com/Shougo/dein.vim'
if !(s:dir->isdirectory())
execute '!git clone https://github.com/Shougo/dein.vim' s:dir
endif
endif
execute 'set runtimepath^='
\ .. s:dir->fnamemodify(':p')->substitute('[/\\]$', '', '')
endifPlease use dein-installer.vim.

This is where Dein future plans or TODOS are listed:
- Other types support (zip, svn, hg, ...)
- Metadata repository support
- Require neovim 0.10+ or Vim 9.0+(to use interpolated-string)
