I'm using MacOSX, and I have script on Terminal, and since I will probably forget how to update everything inside Vim/NeoVim, is it possible to pass command, e.g. :PlugUpdate, to nvim/vim so that I can update all things (Terminal Homebrew, Vim-Plug, etc) at once?

You can pass a command when starting up with -c (or +):

vim -c 'PlugUpdate'

You may also want to pass qall if you are running this from a script.

  • I searched vim -h and found -c, but I didn't find out qall, what does it mean?

    Sorry, perhaps I wasn’t clear. I meant also passing -c 'qall' i.e. the ex command :qall to quit all vim windows afterwards (otherwise your script will open but not close vim).

  • Can I pass multiple command than just PlugUpdate?

    @job_start Yes you can. You can either do vim -c 'PlugUpgrade' -c 'PlugUpdate' -c 'qall', for example, or vim -c 'PlugUpgrade | PlugUpdate | qall'.
