Autoupdate VIM Plugins?

Is it possible to update vim plugins automatically?

How do I enable plugins in Vim?

Starting with Vim version 8, you can install plugins without the need for a package manager by using the default package management tool. You can place Vim plugins in the ~/. vim/pack/vendor/start/plugin_name directory. Note that the plugin_name folder name will vary from plugin to plugin.

Where are Vim plugins stored?

By default, Vim expects each plugin to be stored in the ~/. vim/pack/<my-plugins>/. When Vim starts, it will load all plugins stored in /. vim/pack/my-plugins/start.

To provide an up to date answer to this old question, Vundle works really great. It simulates the ruby bundle gem, you simply configure your Bundles in .vimrc and then run :BundleInstall! inside vim.
