Easy way to reset all options to default in tmux(3.0a)

tmux-reset is very similar to reset.css or normalize.css for CSS. When you source this file through source-file command, it resets all tmux options to their defaults. It also unbinds all bound keys then applies the [default key bindings]. From clean state, you can apply any changes to your tmux as usual.

There are two ways to install and activate this script.

Add this line in your .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'hallazzang/tmux-reset'

1. Download tmux-reset file and put it in somewhere, for example, ~/.tmux/reset:

   $ curl -Lo ~/.tmux/reset --create-dirs \
       https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hallazzang/tmux-reset/3.0/tmux-reset

2. Include this line at the top of your .tmux.conf:

   source-file ~/.tmux/reset

   Don't forget to change ~/.tmux/reset above to actual location of downloaded file.

That's it. Now whenever you reload your .tmux.conf, you don't need to kill your tmux server and restart it to reset options.

If you're using other version of tmux, please check tags.
