-Installation & Documentation
-----------------------------
+## Installation and Documentation
 
-If you have no preferred installation method, I suggest using tpope's
-[pathogen](https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen). Afterwards installing
-vim-signify is as easy as pie:
+Use your favorite plugin manager.
 
-    $ git clone https://github.com/mhinz/vim-signify ~/.vim/bundle/vim-signify
+Using [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
+
+    Plug 'mhinz/vim-signify'
 
 It works without any configuration, but you might want to look into the
 documentation for further customization:
 
-    :Helptags  " rebuilding tags files
     :h signify
 
 _NOTE_: The single most important option by far is `g:signify_vcs_list`. Please
 read `:h g:signify_vcs_list`.
