5 months ago Hello @ncihnegn,
I don't believe it's an issue.
In my repository the file is named .tmux.conf.local while it should be name ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf.local without a leading dot when loaded from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME

5 months ago Ah, the naming can be confusing.
But it is still a problem. Adding ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf and ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf.local are still modifications to the ~/.config/tmux/ submodule.
I don't understand why we need to make a link for tmux.conf. We should be able to use it as is.
It will be nice to use a layout like ~/.tmux/tmux.conf plus ~/.tmux.conf.local. The vanilla configuration and the user customization should be in different directories so that they can be tracked separately.

Sure. So you can have:
~
├── .config (your own git repository)
│ ├ .tmux (this repository as a submodule)
│ │ ├ .tmux.conf (upstream)
│ │ └ .tmux.conf.local (upstream)
│ └ tmux
│ ├ tmux.conf -> ../.tmux/.tmux.conf (symlink)
│ └ tmux.conf.local (your own copy with your own customizations)
├── ...
└── ...Yes, that's what I am doing. But the unnecessary link is bugging me.

The following won't work:
~
├── .config (your own git repository)
│ └ tmux (this repository as a submodule)
│ ├ .tmux.conf
│ └ .tmux.conf.local.example
├── ...
└── ...Renaming .tmux.conf.local to .tmux.conf.local.example won't help much when tmux is looking for a file named ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf and not ~/.config/tmux/.tmux.conf.
It's too late to rename .tmux.conf to tmux.conf in this repository as it would break many users who pull the repository.
I use
.tmuxas a git submodule in~/.config/tmux. So my changes to.tmux.conf.localwill have conflicts when I pull from your repo.
