How to add vim-plugins into git repo?

I created a git repo and add vim-plugins ( which is installed by vundle) into it, after I pushed this repo to github, and clone this repo to another server, I found that vim-plugin's directory is empty, dirs and files under vim-plugin's directory are all missing

How to produce it:

$ make a new test user in Linux, then ( su - test )
$ git clone https://github.com/gmarik/vundle.git ~/.vim/bundle/vundle # install vundle
$ echo "
  set nocompatible
  filetype off
  set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/vundle/
  call vundle#rc()
  Bundle 'gmarik/vundle'
  Bundle 'Lokaltog/vim-powerline'
  filetype plugin indent on
  " >> .vimrc
$ vim # run vim command `:BundleInstall`
$ mkdir vimgitrepo && cd vimgitrepo && git init
$ cp -a ~/.vim/bundle .
$ git status
  # On branch master
  # Untracked files:
  #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
  #
  #       bundle/
  nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
$ git add .
$ git status
  # On branch master
  # Changes to be committed:
  #   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
  #
  #       new file:   bundle/vim-powerline
  #       new file:   bundle/vundle
  #

As you can see, only directories are added.

$ git commit -m'test'
$ git push -u origin master

And if you clone this repo on another place, only empty directory exists.

Here is test vimgitrepo github page

You copied the whole directories into your repo, which are other git repos and contains .git/ directory in them.

So you have two way to solve it:

  1. use command git submodule, set them as submodules.
  2. delete the .git/ in these directories before your first commit.
