12 months ago I would actually just make use of packages, e.g. simply clone into ~/.vim/packages/dist/start
But I have heard good things about https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug
Note: I am not using a plugin manager, so cannot recommend one.

(I killed vim from another tab) Didn't seem to work. I should have see the compare option right?
Then I went back to this projects install instructions (the ones after the recommendation to use a plugin manager) and I followed:
~/.vim/packages/dist/start$ vim Recover.vim/Recover.vmb
(and did the :so % incantation) and........
~/.vim/packages/dist/start$ vim asdf
~/.vim/packages/dist/start$
It works!!!! Thanks! Hopefully this thread helps the next guy and/or gal
Might you recommend one? I want to install your plugin the recommended way, but perhaps I have not used a plugin manager before. Perhaps this plugin is not available in all plugin managers? I'm using Debian 12.
