Muxforge
liveReproducible tmux plugin management for engineers who live on servers
Details
Muxforge manages your tmux environment like Terraform manages infrastructure. It uses a lock file to pin exact plugin versions ensuring consistency across setups and is a single binary with no need to clone or source additional files. Muxforge automatically detects your tmux configuration and manages it by installing, removing, and migrating plugins directly within your tmux.conf.

Why this one made the cut
It ensures reproducibility in tmux plugin configurations by using a lock file system, similar to package managers in infrastructure tools. This helps maintain identical environments across different machines and setups, which is particularly useful for developers and system administrators who work across multiple servers.
What makes it different
Unlike earlier tmux plugin managers, Muxforge offers an infrastructure-as-code approach for managing tmux environments, and it works seamlessly with dotfile managers and supports migration from existing setups.
