tmux ignoring .bash_profile configurations after installing
lawhorkl opened this issue · 4 comments
Running: Mac OSX Sierra 10.12.3 MBP 2012, tmux 2.3, latest homebrow version of tmux osx pasteboard
I have several configs in .bash_profile used for various things like integrating SilverSearcher, git tab autocomplete, and customizing the bash prompt to include: user & hostname, current working directory, and git branch information (branch name, uncommitted changes, added changes, merge information, etc.)
When running tmux with this wrapper the git autocomplete and silver searcher works fine, however my changes to the bash prompt are replaced by this: kyles-mbp-2%. I'd love to use this, however without my bash prompt this is not worth the trouble caused by not having it.
How are you invoking the wrapper program? Through tmux’s default-command? Did you include the -l option? bash only uses .bash_profile if it is told to be a login shell.
this is the line in my .tmux.conf file:
set-option -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l zsh"
Try changing zsh to bash in there.
@ChrisJohnsen that appears to have worked! much thanks for the work involved in this!
