+# Tmux Plugin Manager
+
+Installs and loads TMUX plugins.
+
+Truth be told, there aren't too many TMUX plugins out there. People mostly just
+copy code snippets from each others' `.tmux.conf` files.
+
+I hope TMUX plugin manager (TPM) inspires people to do better and more creative
+things with TMUX. See below for instructions how to create your own plugin.
+
+### Installation
+
+Clone TPM:
+
+    $ git clone https://github.com/bruno-/tpm ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm
+
+Put this at the bottom of your `.tmux.conf` (backslashes at the end of the lines
+are required):
+
+    # List of plugins
+    # Supports `github_username/repo` or full git URLs
+    set -g @tpm_plugins "              \
+      bruno-/tpm                       \
+      bruno-/tmux_battery_osx          \
+      # Examples:
+      # github_username/plugin_name    \
+      # git@github.com/user/plugin     \
+      # git@bitbucket.com/user/plugin  \
+    "
+
+    # initializes TMUX plugin manager
+    run-shell ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm.sh
+
+Reload TMUX environment so TPM is sourced:
+
+    # type this in terminal
+    $ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
+
+That's it!
+
+### Installing plugins
+
+1. add a new plugin to the `@tpm_plugins` list
+2. hit `prefix + I` (I as in *I*nstall) to fetch the plugin
+
+You're good to go! The plugin was cloned to `~/.tmux/plugins/` dir and sourced.
+
+### Key bindings
+
+TPM provides only 1 key binding: `prefix + I`. Here's what it does:
+
+- clones new plugins from github or any other git repo
+- pulls updates for already installed plugins
+- refreshes TMUX environment
+
+After you press `prefix + I`, everything should be up to date.
