powertmux

Install in seconds

Homebrew is the recommended way to install — it ships the powertmux CLI and tmux.conf together.

brew install powertmux/powertmux/powertmux

Installs the powertmux binary. Run powertmux install afterward to place tmux.conf at the standard XDG path.

# global
cp tmux.conf /etc/tmux.conf

# user
cp tmux.conf ~/.tmux.conf

Or copy it to ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf (XDG path), also picked up by the reload bind.

go build .
# or
make build

Requires Go. Produces the same powertmux CLI Homebrew installs.

A drop-in tmux.conf, a small Go CLI, and nothing else to install.

The powerline style pairs great with powerbash.

Styled, true-color (hex) status bar and window tabs, with the current window highlighted.

powertmux attaches to your session; powertmux install/uninstall manage the config.

Global, per-user, or XDG — via Homebrew or by hand, however you like to manage dotfiles.
