Specifying the location of your vim plugin

If you are working on a vim plugin and you want to keep this plugin amongst your projects rather than with your other vim plugins you can add a new entry to the runtimepath or rtp.

Place the following in your vimrc:

set runtimepath+=~/projects/vim-my-plugin
VimScript

Or

set rtp+=~/projects/vim-my-plugin
VimScript

You can confirm that the path was added correctly by checking that setting with:

set rtp
VimScript
