Its README presents it as a modern drop-in replacement for TPM, the long-standing Tmux Plugin Manager, while keeping compatibility with existing TPM configuration, plugins, and key bindings. ### Project history The project appears as a recent tmux plugin-management tool, with GitHub Releases beginning at v0.1 in February 2026. The README credits TPM and its contributors as the foundation for the plugin ecosystem that tpack is designed to remain compatible with. ### Adoption history Adoption is intentionally migration-oriented: users can install tpack as a binary or clone it into the traditional `~/.tmux/plugins/tpm` path, then keep existing `~/.tmux.conf` plugin declarations. Homebrew packaging makes the binary route available to macOS users. ### How it is used tpack reads the same tmux plugin declarations that TPM users already keep in `~/.tmux.conf` or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/tmux.conf`, then provides plugin management with a TUI and compatibility-oriented behavior. ### Why package nerds care For package nerds, tpack is interesting because it turns a historically git-cloned shell plugin manager into a packaged Go binary while preserving the old filesystem and config conventions that tmux users already rely on. ### Timeline - 2026: v0.1 published on GitHub Releases. - 2026: README documents Homebrew availability and TPM drop-in migration. ### Related projects - tpack is directly related to tmux-plugins/tpm, which its README names as the original Tmux Plugin Manager and compatibility target. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for tpack.
