Using git-submodules to version-control Vim plugins

If you work across many computers (and even otherwise!), it's a good idea to keep a copy of your setup on the cloud, preferably in a git repository, and clone it on another machine when you need. Thus, you should keep the .vim directory along with your .vimrc version-controlled.

But when you have plugins installed inside .vim/bundle (if you use pathogen), or inside .vim/pack (if you use Vim 8's packages), keeping a copy where you want to be able to update the plugins (individual git repositories), as well as your vim-configuration as a whole, requires you to use git submodules.

Creating the repository

Initialize a git repository inside your .vim directory, add everything (including the vimrc), commit and push to a GitHub/BitBucket/GitLab repository:

cd ~/.vim

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'pathname'

# path to your application root.
APP_ROOT = Pathname.new File.expand_path('../../',  __FILE__)

Dir.chdir APP_ROOT do
  # This script is a starting point to setup your application.
  # Add necessary setup steps to this file:

class Capybara::Session
  def wait_until(timeout = Capybara.default_wait_time)
    Timeout.timeout(timeout) do
      sleep(0.1) until value = yield
      value
    end
  end
end
