dein.vim is a high-performance, feature-rich plugin manager for Vim and Neovim that enables fast startup and efficient plugin loading. It supports managing plugins from GitHub and local directories, with a design that balances speed (like vim-plug) and flexibility (like NeoBundle). Active development has ceased, with only bug fixes expected going forward. Function API and familiar patterns, without commands or dependency hell. Clean asynchronous installation supported. Supports plugins from local or remote sources, and also Non-Github plugins.

Features

  • Fast plugin installation and startup using lazy-load and profiling
  • Supports plugins from GitHub and local directories via dein#add()
  • Manual installation via installer script or Git clone for UNIX systems
  • Supports Vim and Neovim environments
  • Performance profiling tools to analyze plugin load times
  • Configurable via structured blocks (dein#begin() … dein#end())
