Usage:

    -a                    Track current tmux session
    -A                    Track pane within current tmux session
    -r <index>            Replace tracked entry at index with current session

                          list of tracked sessions
    -e                    Edit the sessions file

The index corresponds to the position of the session in the list of tracked sessions.

I have the following snippet in my tmux configuration which integrates harpoon with tmux.

bind -n M-b run 'harpoon -a'
bind -n .   run 'harpoon -A'
bind -n M-v run 'harpoon -l'
bind -n M-i run 'harpoon -e'
bind -n M-q run 'harpoon -s 1'  # jump to bookmark at index 1
bind    M-q run 'harpoon -r 1'  # replace entry at index 1 with current session
bind -n M-w run 'harpoon -s 2'  # jump to bookmark at index 2
bind    M-w run 'harpoon -R 2'  # replace entry at index 2 with current pane within session
bind -n M-e run 'harpoon -s 3'
bind -n M-r run 'harpoon -s 4'

# Note: When replcaing, if there is no entry at the given index, it is appended to the list instead.

Example

# Track session
harpoon -a # Track the current tmux session
harpoon -A # Track pane within the current tmux session

harpoon -r 2 # Replace the tracked entry at index 2 with the current session
harpoon -R 3 # Replace the tracked entry at index 3 with the current pane within the session

# Stop tracking session
harpoon -d my_session # Stop tracking named session
harpoon -d # Stop tracking the current session

# List all tracked sessions
harpoon -l

# Jump to session
harpoon -s 1 # Switch to the session at index 1 in the list of tracked sessions
harpoon -s 4
