vim-startify

Startify basically provides two things:

1) If you start Vim without giving any filenames to it (or pipe stuff to it so it reads from STDIN), startify will show a small but pretty start screen which shows recently used files and sessions by default.

2) It eases handling of loading and saving sessions by only working with a certain directory. Two commands are used for convenience:

  :SLoad    load a session
  :SSave    save a session

The default settings are pretty sane, so it should work without any configuration.

Feedback, please!

If you like any of my plugins, star it on github. This is a great way of getting feedback! Same for issues or feature requests.

Thank you for flying mhi airlines. Get the Vim on!

Installation

If you have no preferred installation method, I suggest using tpope's pathogen:

1. git clone https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen ~/.vim/bundle/vim-pathogen
2. mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload && cd ~/.vim/autoload
3. ln -s ../bundle/vim-pathogen/autoload/pathogen.vim

Afterwards installing Sy is as easy as pie:

1. git clone https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify ~/.vim/bundle/vim-startify
2. start Vim
3. :Helptags
4. :h startify
