Ubuntu: Where is the default tmux config file?

 

This is a tricky one to find, mainly because by default it doesn’t exist. You create your custom configuration file in your home directory in a hidden file like so:

 

~/.tmux.conf

 

…and add your desired configuration changes to that file. So, if you were the user bob, your config file would be located at:

 

/home/bob/.tmux.conf

 

Since it is a hidden file (prefixed with a period) you won’t see it on ls – you need to use:

 

ls -al

 

(or ls -a if you don’t like lists) to see it in the directory.
