+# Tmux Config
+Here is my tmux config. To install it, download the `.tmux.conf` file to your home directory. Next, clone the tmux plugin manager.

+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
+```
+
+Finally, launch `tmux` and press `<prefix>+r` to reload, then press `<prefix>+I` to install all the plugins.
