history
Project history and usage
tmux-mem-cpu-load is a small tmux status-line monitor that prints memory use, CPU load, and system load averages. Its history is best understood as part of the tmux customization ecosystem rather than as a standalone platform project.
Project history
The official README describes the project as a simple, lightweight program for system monitoring in tmux's status line. It is written mainly in C++ with platform-specific code for Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Windows visible in the repository layout.
Adoption history
The README documents installation by tmux plugin manager, Homebrew, Gentoo, FreeBSD pkg, and zsh plugin tooling such as Antigen. The batch input adds MacPorts and Nix package names, showing the tool's adoption among users who manage tmux extras through package managers rather than hand-copying scripts.
How it is used
Users add tmux-mem-cpu-load to status-left or status-right in ~/.tmux.conf, often matching its interval to tmux's status-interval. Options support colors, powerline separators, vertical graphs, memory display modes, CPU display modes, and load-average count.
Why package nerds care
Package nerds care about this project because it is the kind of narrowly scoped tmux add-on that becomes valuable when it is packaged: once installed, it becomes just another executable in a reproducible dotfiles setup.
