+# Changelog
+
+### master
+
+### v3.1.0, 2023-01-03
+- upgrade to new version of `tmux-test`
+- bug: when using `emacs` copy mode, Enter does not quit screen after tpm
+  installation/update. Fix by making `Escape` the key for emacs mode.
+- add a doc with troubleshooting instructions
+- add `.gitattributes` file that forces linefeed characters (classic `\n`) as
+  line endings - helps with misconfigured git on windows/cygwin
+- readme update: announce Cygwin support
+- un-deprecate old plugin definition syntax: `set -g @tpm_plugins`
+- More stuff, check `git log`.
+
+### v3.0.0, 2015-08-03
+- refactor `shared_set_tpm_path_constant` function
+- move all instructions to `docs/` dir
+- add `bin/install_plugins` cli executable script
+- improved test runner function
+- switch to using [tmux-test](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-test)
+  framework
+- add `bin/update_plugins` cli executable script
+- refactor test `expect` scripts, make them simpler and ensure they properly
+  assert expectations
+- refactor code that sets 'TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH' global env var
+- stop using global variable for 'tpm path'
+- support defining plugins via `set -g @plugin` in sourced files as well
+
+### v2.0.0, 2015-07-07
+- enable overriding default key bindings
+- start using `C-c` to clear screen
+- add uninstall/clean procedure and keybinding (prefix+alt+u) (@chilicuil)
+- add new `set @plugin 'repo'` plugin definition syntax (@chilicuil)
+- revert back to using `-g` flag in new plugin definition syntax
+- permit leading whitespace with new plugin definition syntax (thanks @chilicuil)
+- make sure `TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH` always has trailng slash
+- ensure old/deprecated plugin syntax `set -g @tpm_plugins` works alongside new
+  `set -g @plugin` syntax
+
+### v1.2.2, 2015-02-08
+- set GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 when doing `git clone`, `pull` or `submodule update`
+  to ensure git does not prompt for username/password in any case
+
+### v1.2.1, 2014-11-21
+- change the way plugin name is expanded. It now uses the http username
+  and password by default, like this: `https://git::@github.com/`. This prevents
+  username and password prompt (and subsequently tmux install hanging) with old
+  git versions. Fixes #7.
+
+### v1.2.0, 2014-11-20
+- refactor tests so they can be used on travis
+- add travis.yml, add travis badge to the readme
+
+### v1.1.0, 2014-11-19
+- if the plugin is not downloaded do not source it
+- remove `PLUGINS.md`, an obsolete list of plugins
+- update readme with instructions about uninstalling plugins
+- tilde char and `$HOME` in `TMUX_SHARED_MANAGER_PATH` couldn't be used because
+  they are just plain strings. Fixing the problem by manually expanding them.
+- bugfix: fragile `*.tmux` file globbing (@majutsushi)
+
+### v1.0.0, 2014-08-05
+- update readme because of github organization change to
+  [tmux-plugins](https://github.com/tmux-plugins)
+- update tests to pass
+- update README to suggest different first plugin
+- update list of plugins in the README
+- remove README 'about' section
+- move key binding to the main file. Delete `key_binding.sh`.
+- rename `display_message` -> `echo_message`
+- installing plugins installs just new plugins. Already installed plugins aren't
+  updated.
+- add 'update plugin' binding and functionality
+- add test for updating a plugin
+
+### v0.0.2, 2014-07-17
+- run all *.tmux plugin files as executables
+- fix all redirects to /dev/null
+- fix bug: TPM shared path is created before sync (cloning plugins from github
+  is done)
+- add test suite running in Vagrant
+- add Tmux version check. `TPM` won't run if Tmux version is less than 1.9.
+
+### v0.0.1, 2014-05-21
+- get TPM up and running

+# Tmux Plugin Manager
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/tmux-plugins/tpm.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/tmux-plugins/tpm)
+
+Installs and loads `tmux` plugins.
+
+Tested and working on Linux, OSX, and Cygwin.
+
+See list of plugins [here](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/list).
+
+### Installation
+
+Requirements: `tmux` version 1.9 (or higher), `git`, `bash`.
+
+Clone TPM:
+
+```bash
+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):
+
+```bash
+# 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 'github_username/plugin_name#branch'
+# 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 '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'
+```
+
+Reload TMUX environment so TPM is sourced:
+
+```bash
+# type this in terminal if tmux is already running
+tmux source ~/.tmux.conf
+```
+
+That's it!
+
+### Installing plugins
+
+1. Add new plugin to `~/.tmux.conf` with `set -g @plugin '...'`
+2. Press `prefix` + <kbd>I</kbd> (capital i, as in **I**nstall) to fetch the plugin.
+
+You're good to go! The plugin was cloned to `~/.tmux/plugins/` dir and sourced.
+
+### Uninstalling plugins
+
+1. Remove (or comment out) plugin from the list.
+2. Press `prefix` + <kbd>alt</kbd> + <kbd>u</kbd> (lowercase u as in **u**ninstall) to remove the plugin.
+
+All the plugins are installed to `~/.tmux/plugins/` so alternatively you can
+find plugin directory there and remove it.
+
+### Key bindings
+
+`prefix` + <kbd>I</kbd>
+- Installs new plugins from GitHub or any other git repository
+- Refreshes TMUX environment
+
+`prefix` + <kbd>U</kbd>
+- updates plugin(s)
+
+`prefix` + <kbd>alt</kbd> + <kbd>u</kbd>
+- remove/uninstall plugins not on the plugin list
+
+### Docs
+
+- [Help, tpm not working](docs/tpm_not_working.md) - problem solutions
+
+More advanced features and instructions, regular users probably do not need
+this:
+
+- [How to create a plugin](docs/how_to_create_plugin.md). It's easy.
+- [Managing plugins via the command line](docs/managing_plugins_via_cmd_line.md)

+# Automatic tpm installation
+
+One of the first things we do on a new machine is cloning our dotfiles. Not everything comes with them though, so for example `tpm` most likely won't be installed.
+
+If you want to install `tpm` and plugins automatically when tmux is started, put the following snippet in `.tmux.conf` before the final `run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'`:
+
+```
+if "test ! -d ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm" \
+   "run 'git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm && ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/bin/install_plugins'"
+```

+# Changing plugins install dir
+
+By default, TPM installs plugins in a subfolder named `plugins/` inside
+`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/` if a `tmux.conf` file was found at that location, or
+inside `~/.tmux/` otherwise.
+
+You can change the install path by putting this in `.tmux.conf`:
+
+    set-environment -g TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH '/some/other/path/'
+
+Tmux plugin manager initialization in `.tmux.conf` should also be updated:
+
+    # initializes TMUX plugin manager in a new path
+    run /some/other/path/tpm/tpm
+
+Please make sure that the `run` line is at the very bottom of `.tmux.conf`.

+# How to create Tmux plugins
+
+Creating a new plugin is easy.
+
+For demonstration purposes we'll create a simple plugin that lists all
+installed TPM plugins. Yes, a plugin that lists plugins :) We'll bind that to
+`prefix + T`.
+
+The source code for this example plugin can be found
+[here](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-example-plugin).
+
+### 1. create a new git project
+
+TPM depends on git for downloading and updating plugins.
+
+To create a new git project:
+
+    $ mkdir tmux_my_plugin
+    $ cd tmux_my_plugin
+    $ git init
+
+### 2. create a `*.tmux` plugin run file
+
+When it sources a plugin, TPM executes all `*.tmux` files in your plugins'
+directory. That's how plugins are run.
+
+Create a plugin run file in plugin directory:
+
+    $ touch my_plugin.tmux
+    $ chmod u+x my_plugin.tmux
+
+You can have more than one `*.tmux` file, and all will get executed. However, usually
+you'll need just one.
+
+### 3. create a plugin key binding
+
+We want the behavior of the plugin to trigger when a user hits `prefix + T`.
+
+Key `T` is chosen because:
+ - it's "kind of" a mnemonic for `TPM`
+ - the key is not used by Tmux natively. Tmux man page, KEY BINDINGS section
+   contains a list of all the bindings Tmux uses. There's plenty of unused keys
+   and we don't want to override any of Tmux default key bindings.
+
+Open the plugin run file in your favorite text editor:
+
+    $ vim my_plugin.tmux
+    # or
+    $ subl my_plugin.tmux
+
+Put the following content in the file:
+
+    #!/usr/bin/env bash
+
+    CURRENT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
+    tmux bind-key T run-shell "$CURRENT_DIR/scripts/tmux_list_plugins.sh"
+
+As you can see, plugin run file is a simple bash script that sets up the binding.
+
+When pressed, `prefix + T` will execute another shell script:
+`tmux_list_plugins.sh`. That script should be in `scripts/` directory -
+relative to the plugin run file.
+
+
+### 4. listing plugins
+
+Now that we have the binding, let's create a script that's invoked with
+`prefix + T`.
+
+    $ mkdir scripts
+    $ touch scripts/tmux_list_plugins.sh
+    $ chmod u+x scripts/tmux_list_plugins.sh
+
+And here's the script content:
+
+    #!/usr/bin/env bash
+
+    # fetching the directory where plugins are installed
+    plugin_path="$(tmux show-env -g TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH | cut -f2 -d=)"
+
+    # listing installed plugins
+    ls -1 "$plugin_path"
+
+### 5. try it out
+
+To see if this works, execute the plugin run file:
+
+    $ ./my_plugin.tmux
+
+That should set up the key binding. Now hit `prefix + T` and see if it works.
+
+### 6. publish the plugin
+
+When everything is ready, push the plugin to an online git repository,
+preferably GitHub.
+
+Other users can install your plugin by just adding plugin git URL to the
+`@plugin` list in their `.tmux.conf`.
+
+If the plugin is on GitHub, your users will be able to use the shorthand of
+`github_username/repository`.
+
+### Conclusion
+
+Hopefully, that was easy. As you can see, it's mostly shell scripting.
+
+You can use other scripting languages (ruby, python etc) but plain old shell
+is preferred because of portability.

+# Managing plugins via the command line
+
+Aside from tmux key bindings, TPM provides shell interface for managing plugins
+via scripts located in [bin/](../bin/) directory.
+
+Tmux does not need to be started in order to run scripts (but it's okay if it
+is). If you [changed tpm install dir](../docs/changing_plugins_install_dir.md)
+in `.tmux.conf` that should work fine too.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- tmux installed on the system (doh)
+- `.tmux.conf` set up for TPM
+
+### Installing plugins
+
+As usual, plugins need to be specified in `.tmux.conf`. Run the following
+command to install plugins:
+
+    ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/bin/install_plugins
+
+### Updating plugins
+
+To update all installed plugins:
+
+    ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/bin/update_plugins all
+
+or update a single plugin:
+
+    ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/bin/update_plugins tmux-sensible
+
+### Removing plugins
+
+To remove plugins not on the plugin list:
+
+    ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/bin/clean_plugins

+
+Related [issue #22](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm/issues/22)
+
+- Do you have required `tmux` version to run `tpm`?<br/>
+  Check `tmux` version with `$ tmux -V` command and make sure it's higher or
+  equal to the required version for `tpm` as stated in the readme.

+> Help, I'm using custom config file with `tmux -f /path/to/my_tmux.conf`
+to start Tmux and for some reason plugins aren't loaded!?
+
+Related [issue #57](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm/issues/57)
+
+`tpm` has a known issue when using custom config file with `-f` option.
+The solution is to use alternative plugin definition syntax. Here are the steps
+to make it work:
+
+1. remove all `set -g @plugin` lines from tmux config file
+2. in the config file define the plugins in the following way:

+        # List of plugins
+        set -g @tpm_plugins '          \
+          tmux-plugins/tpm             \
+          tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible   \
+          tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect  \
+        '
+
+        # Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
+        run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'
+
+3. Reload TMUX environment so TPM is sourced: `$ tmux source /path/to/my_tmux.conf`
+
+The plugins should now be working.

+Related: [issue #25](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm/issues/25)

+> "failed to connect to server" error when sourcing .tmux.conf
+
+Related: [issue #48](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm/issues/48)
+
+- Make sure `tmux source ~/.tmux.conf` command is ran from inside `tmux`.
+

+
+> tpm not working: '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm' returned 2 (Windows / Cygwin)
+
+Related: [issue #81](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm/issues/81)
+
+This issue is most likely caused by Windows line endings. For example, if you
+have git's `core.autocrlf` option set to `true`, git will automatically convert
+all the files to Windows line endings which might cause a problem.
+
+The solution is to convert all line ending to Unix newline characters. This
+command handles that for all files under `.tmux/` dir (skips `.git`
+subdirectories):
+
+```bash
+find ~/.tmux -type d -name '.git*' -prune -o -type f -print0 | xargs -0 dos2unix
+```
+
+<hr />
+
+> '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm' returned 127 (on macOS, w/ tmux installed using brew)
+
+Related: [issue #67](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm/issues/67)
+
+This problem is because tmux's `run-shell` command runs a shell which doesn't read from user configs, thus tmux installed in a brew prefix (e.g. `/usr/local/bin`) will not be found.
+
+The solution is to find your brew prefix
+
+```sh
+> echo "$(brew --prefix)/bin"
+/opt/homebrew/bin
+```
+
+And prepend it to the `PATH` environment variable
+```
+set-environment -g PATH "/opt/homebrew/bin:/bin:/usr/bin"
+```
+
+before any `run-shell`/`run` commands in `~/.tmux.conf`.
