UltiSnips snippets are taken from UltiSnips repo. Putting them nearby the engine seems to be the wrong thing to do. One reason is that there are two forks now.

Snipmate & UltiSnip Snippets
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
This repository contains snippets files for various programming languages.
|
|
|
|
It is community-maintained and many people have contributed snippet files and other
|
|
improvements already.

Snippet engines
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
There are different forks of snippet engines which allow the user to insert
|
|
sippets by typing the name of a snippet hitting the expansion mapping.
|
|
|
|
garbas/vim-snipmate [4]:
|
|
VimL, snipmate-snippets, engine sometimes behaves strange, supports
|
|
rewriting snippets on the fly (eg adding a second version with folding
|
|
markers)
|
|
|
|
MarcWeber/UltiSnips [6]:
|
|
python, snipmate-snippets and UltiSnips-snippets
|
|
|
|
SirVer/ultisnips [7]:
|
|
python, UltiSnips-snippets
|
|
|
|
github.com/Shougo/neosnippet [5]:
|
|
viml, has a compatible mode allowing to reuse most snipmate snippets ?
|
|
|
|
XPTemplate:
|
|
totally different syntax, does not read snippets contained in this file,
|
|
but it is also very powerful
|
|
|
|
... there are some more, but they have less features which is why I don't
|
|
mention them here
|
|
|
|
UltiSnips engine has additional features such as "nested snippets".
|
|
|
|
Which one to use? If you have python give MarcWeber/UltiSnips a try because its
|
|
fast and supports all important features. You can prefer the UltiSnip versions
|
|
of the snippets by setting the "always_use_first_snippet" option to 1.
|
|
|
|
If you have VimL only (vim without python support) your best option is using
|
|
garbas/vim-snipmate and cope with the minor bugs found in the engine.

Historical notes
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
[vim-snipmate][1] was originally started by [Michael Sanders][2] who has now
|
|
unfortunately abandoned the project. [Rok Garbas][3] is now maintaining a
|
|
[fork][4] of the project in hopes of improving the existing code base.
|

Language maintainers
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
No one can really be proficient in all programming languages. If you would like
|
|
to maintain snippets for a language, please get in touch.

Contributing notes
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Until further work is done on `vim-snipmate`, please don't add folding markers
|
|
into snippets. `vim-snipmate` has some comments about how to patch all snippets
|
|
on the fly adding those.
|
|
|
|
Because MarcWeber/UltiSnips [6] supports also snipmate-snippets there is no
|
|
need to duplicate all snippets - only those snippets who use advanced UltiSnips
|
|
features should be duplicated in UltiSnips (?)
|
|
|
|
Currently all snippets from UltiSnips have been put into UltiSnips - some work
|
|
on merging should be done (dropping duplicates etc)
