phantom \~ directories get made when i start tmux

[rreagan3]

Full disclosure: I modified the .tmux.conf file to change all references from ~/.tmux.conf to ~/.config/tmux/.tmux.conf and same for .tmux.conf.local. It's nice to clone the repo into .config, where I keep all my other dotfile repos.

However, every time I start tmux in a directory, it makes a ~ folder in that directory.

I've tried finding what piece of code is making these directories, but I just can't seem to find it. Any pointers?

It seems to be the code responsible for downloading plugins.

Thanks!

❯ pwd
/home/username/.config/tmux

Hello @rreagan3 👋

I have no idea. Looks like something you added by changing .tmux.conf which I don't recommend 🤷‍♂️

[rreagan3]

yeah, i took a gamble there. Where in the file does it call code to download plugins?
