I wrote code for a vim plugin (in python wrapped in VimL) and now I want to share it with the world. What do I have to do to get it so that other users can install it with pathogen and add it to their vim packages?
A Pathogen bundle is just files in the same subdirectories as they would be under $HOME/.vim. For example, here is the structure of a Pathogen-managed plugin I wrote:
.
├── LICENSE
├── README.md
├── doc
│ └── octopress.txt
├── ftplugin
│ └── octopress.vim
├── plugin
│ └── octopress.vim
└── syntax
└── octopress.vim
I put that tree into $HOME/.vim/bundle/octopress/ and Pathogen worked it out.
Here's the layout of a more complex plugin, vim-signify, which I have installed in $HOME/.vim/bundle/signify/.
