`curl -fLo ~/.vim/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim` vim-plug is a minimalist plugin manager for Vim. It downloads and manages plugins with a simple configuration syntax.

## How it works

1. Install vim-plug by downloading `plug.vim` to the autoload directory
2. Add `call plug#begin()` and `call plug#end()` to your vimrc
3. List plugins between these calls
4. Run `:PlugInstall` to install them

## Example

```vim
call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Plug 'junegunn/fzf.vim'
Plug 'preservim/nerdtree'
call plug#end()
```

## Tips

- `:PlugInstall` installs new plugins
- `:PlugUpdate` updates installed plugins
- `:PlugClean` removes unused plugins
- `:PlugStatus` shows plugin status
- Plugins are stored in `~/.vim/plugged/` by default
