Organizing vim plugins in separate directories

Question

Can I put each of my vim plugins in a separate directory in my directory ~/.vim?

Unpacking everything in one place seems messy.

Answer 1

You want pathogen.vim. You can find it at http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2332 or http://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen

Answer 2

Cm

help vimfiles

Plugins usually come in

.../vimfiles/plugins

but if you put them in subdirectories of the plugins there will be no problem. Vim will download them all.
