Install

vim-go requires at least Vim 7.4.2009 or Neovim 0.3.1.

The latest stable release is the recommended version to use. If you choose to use the master branch instead, please do so with caution; it is a development branch.

vim-go follows the standard runtime path structure. Below are some helper lines for popular package managers:

• Vim 8 packages
  • git clone https://github.com/fatih/vim-go.git ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vim-go
• Pathogen
  • git clone https://github.com/fatih/vim-go.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-go
• vim-plug
  • Plug 'fatih/vim-go', { 'do': ':GoUpdateBinaries' }
• Vundle
  • Plugin 'fatih/vim-go'

You will also need to install all the necessary binaries. vim-go makes it easy to install all of them by providing a command, :GoInstallBinaries, which will go get all the required binaries.

Check out the Install section in the documentation for more detailed instructions (:help go-install).

Usage

The full documentation can be found at doc/vim-go.txt. You can display it from within Vim with :help vim-go.

Depending on your installation method, you may have to generate the plugin's help tags manually (e.g. :helptags ALL).

We also have an official vim-go tutorial.
