Dependency Resolution

Experimental support for dependency resolution has been deprecated and removed since vim-plug 0.5.0


If a Vim plugin specifies its dependent plugins in Plugfile in its root directory, vim-plug will automatically source it recursively during the installation.

A Plugfile should contain a set of Plug commands for the dependent plugins.

I've created three dummy repositories with Plugfiles as an example to this scheme.

If you put Plug 'junegunn/dummy1' in your configuration file, reload it, and run :PlugInstall,

  1. vim-plug first installs dummy1
  2. And sees if the repository has Plugfile
  3. Plugfile is loaded and vim-plug discovers dependent plugins
  4. Dependent plugins are then installed as well, and their Plugfiles are examined and their dependencies are resolved recursively.
