Installing plugins

Vim plugins are installed as submodules in the following folders:

• vim/bundles/colors : themes
• vim/bundles/syntaxes : languages
• vim/bundles/utils : rest

Note that those folders are autoloaded with pathogen.

To install a new plugin:

git submodule add <git repo url> vim/bundles/<plugin type>/<plugin name>
