```
##### Vim
```bash
curl -o ~/.vim/autoload/zen.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danishprakash/vim-zen/master/zen.vim
```
### Usage
- Add a `vim-zen` section in your vimrc.
- Add `call zen#init()` method at the beginnning of the section.
- Add plugins using the `Plugin` command.
- Reload `.vimrc`.
- Run `ZenInstall` from within vim.
### Example vim-zen section
```vim
" begin section
call zen#init()
Plugin 'junegunn/goyo.vim'
Plugin 'https://github.com/danishprakash/vimport'
" end section
```
See [this](https://github.com/danishprakash/dotfiles/blob/master/nvim/init.vim) for reference.
### Commands
1. `ZenInstall`: Install plugins.
2. `ZenUpdate`: Update plugins.
3. `ZenDelete`: Remove unused plugins.
### Why?
I wanted something really simple, all other plugin managers out there did the things that I wanted along with other stuff. I wanted a plugin manager that helped me `install`, `remove`, and `update` the plugins I use.
