Its history is best understood as part of the tmux customization ecosystem rather than as a standalone platform project. ### Project history The official README describes the project as a simple, lightweight program for system monitoring in tmux's status line. It is written mainly in C++ with platform-specific code for Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Windows visible in the repository layout. ### Adoption history The README documents installation by tmux plugin manager, Homebrew, Gentoo, FreeBSD pkg, and zsh plugin tooling such as Antigen. The batch input adds MacPorts and Nix package names, showing the tool's adoption among users who manage tmux extras through package managers rather than hand-copying scripts. ### How it is used Users add tmux-mem-cpu-load to status-left or status-right in ~/.tmux.conf, often matching its interval to tmux's status-interval. Options support colors, powerline separators, vertical graphs, memory display modes, CPU display modes, and load-average count. ### Why package nerds care Package nerds care about this project because it is the kind of narrowly scoped tmux add-on that becomes valuable when it is packaged: once installed, it becomes just another executable in a reproducible dotfiles setup. ### Timeline - Current: Official README documents use from ~/.tmux.conf and multiple installation paths. - 2026: GitHub repository page listed 10 releases, latest 3.8.3 on Jun 25, 2026. ### Related projects - tmux provides the status line that tmux-mem-cpu-load targets. - tmux plugin manager, tmux-powerline, and zsh plugin managers are documented integration paths. ### Sources - - input.json source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: ~/.tmux.conf ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** tmux-mem-cpu-load - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - tmux-mem-cpu-load: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/tm/tmux-mem-cpu-load/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - MacPorts - tmux-mem-cpu-load: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/tmux-mem-cpu-load/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rainbarf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rainbarf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, cpu, memory, monitoring, system. - [hwatch](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hwatch/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, system, terminal. - [pv](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pv/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, system, terminal. - [gtop](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gtop/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, system, terminal. - [asitop](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/asitop/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, system. - [collectd](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/collectd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, system. - [ctop](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ctop/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, system. - [duf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/duf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, system. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
