Tmux Plugin Manager
Installs and loads tmux plugins.
Tested and working on Linux, OSX, and Cygwin.
Installation
Requirements: tmux version 1.9 (or higher), git, bash.
Clone TPM:
$ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
Put this at the bottom of ~/.tmux.conf ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/tmux.conf
works too):
# List of plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible'
# Other examples:
# set -g @plugin 'github_username/plugin_name'
# set -g @plugin 'git@github.com/user/plugin'
# set -g @plugin 'git@bitbucket.com/user/plugin'
# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
run -b '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'
Reload TMUX environment so TPM is sourced:
# type this in terminal if tmux is already running
$ tmux source ~/.tmux.conf
That's it!
Installing plugins

~/.tmux.confwithset -g @plugin '...' - Press
