I'm tpope. I make Vim plugins. Lots of Vim plugins. Here are some of my more popular ones.

  • fugitive.vim: The Vim plugin for Git. The Git plugin for Vim.
  • dispatch.vim: Asynchronous :make replacement and shell command runner.
  • surround.vim: Add/remove/change parentheses, brackets, quotation markes, HTML tags.
  • pathogen.vim: The pioneer in the now happily crowed field of Vim package managers.
  • eunuch.vim: Simple wrappers for UNIX utilities, ranging from mv to sudo.
  • unimpaired.vim: A grab bag of "pairs" of mappings. Next/previous, up/down, on/off, escape/unescape.
  • sensible.vim: Defaults "everyone" can agree on. The precursor to defaults.vim which is now included in Vim.
  • obsession.vim: Automatic creation and updating of Vim session files.
  • rails.vim: Ruby on Rails support. There's also bundler.vim for Bundler support.
  • fireplace.vim: Clojure support built on nREPL.
  • scriptease.vim: The Vim plugin for making Vim plugins.

I also maintain a lot of "runtime files", files included with Vim that provide basic language support. Here is just a handful.

  • vim-markdown: Syntax highlighting for a markup language that defies syntax highlighting.
  • vim-git: Five different file types, ranging from commit messages to .gitconfig.
  • vim-ruby: I comaintain this beast.
  • vim-haml: Also covers Sass.

All in all, I maintain 50 or so Vim related repositories.

My Vim work is my passion. Your sponsorship enables me to spend more time pursuing my passion and less time pursuing keeping a roof over my head.

I plan to give increased priority to issues created/upvoted by sponsors, with greater weight given to higher tiers. This will be ad hoc at first (paying attention to names) but hopefully backed by tooling in the future.
