Help maintaining

[cevhyruz]

Hi! It seems that this repo has not been updated for quite some time inline with tmux. Im using tmux for a daily basis and If possible I would like to help maintain the project.

Should I just send a PR for starter?

I you do be sure to check the file that it was originally based on, as it seems to have been updated more recently than this one.

https://github.com/Bash-it/bash-it/blob/master/completion/available/tmux.completion.bash

[cevhyruz]

@eggbean Thanks! Will do.

@cevhyruz @eggbean Hi! I was planning to move this project under main bash-completion repo. There was discussion about this scop/bash-completion#81 but didn't get time to actually do it. @cevhyruz If you want to help kick-start this process, fill free to create PR directly in main bash-completion repo, I will be happy to help with it and review it.

@imomaliev Sorry for taking so long to respond, Just a quick question

Is there any reason why these tmux commands are the only ones with command completion? also, the options seem a bit incomplete or are they the only options supported at the time of the writing?

[imomaliev]

@cevhyruz No reason. Just the ones that were present at the time of the completion script creation. Yes, they are outdated and in need of an update to actualize them. bash-completion has helper functions that could help automate this, so there will not be hard-coded options.

Thanks! I'll take a look at bash-completion codebase as starter

Would love to see the completion shown automatically with tmux. It really improves the experience.

@vinismarques hi! Tmux's team does not want to ship completion files as a part of tmux itself. Read more here
tmux/tmux#259
tmux/tmux@a33bb3e

So, most distributions just ship this completion script. I would like to merge this into bash-completion repo, but currently do not have time for this.

The file previously mentioned is actually up to data with tux 2.7 at least, where as this repo is not. Just an FYI if considering contributing to the completion package.

Hello, what's the status on this? I wanted to contribute to scop/bash-completion for tmux and saw the whole upstream status / your repo / the link above. I would like help on this one.

@alexandre-julien Hi, I do not currently have time to maintain this project, it would be best if someone would work on adding tmux completion directly to bash-completion repo.

I just posted scop/bash-completion#81 (comment) saying that I'd be interested in maintaining a tmux completion script, but only if I could do it in a way that doesn't require keeping up to date with changes to tmux commands and options (which I think might be feasible?).

[imomaliev]

Thanks to @dseomn who took on the challenge and submitted PR scop/bash-completion#1364. Bash completion for tmux is now part of the main bash-completion repo. I believe this can be closed.
