I just got bit by this, too! This would be lovely.
I think #217 will fix this issue (if merged).
I got bit this! I wanted to switch from catppuccin/tmux to dracula/tmux but when I <prefix>+I
, the dracula plugin just wouldn't get installed. Then I looked into ~/.config/tmux/plugins
and found that the catpuccin theme was in the tmux
folder. I deleted this folder and only then did dracula get installed, also at the tmux
folder! So plugins are not namespaced by the github username; the repo names are essentially global.
Context
Some plugins would name their repository not after the plugin, but after the app, notably catppuccin/tmux Their install instructions recommend using tpm like this
This results in the following folder path
~/.tmux/plugins/tmux
. Not very descriptive and potentially even conflicting.Git can already clone a repository into a custom target directory
Right now, tpm would not recognize the
~/.tmux/plugins/open
as a validtmux-open
installation.Suggestion
