Keep the window's name fixed in tmux

I want to keep the windows' name fixed after I rename it. But after I renaming it, they keep changing when I execute commands.

How can I keep them in a static name?

There are two ways to disable automatic rename.

01. change .bashrc or .zshrc file and add this line

export DISABLE_AUTO_TITLE=true

02. or you can add this line to ~/.tmux.conf file

set-option -g allow-rename off
  • create it if it does not yet exist
  • Highly recommend the second option
  • Also you must reload the tmux config after changing the config.

This can be done either from within the tmux, by pressing Ctrl+B and then : to bring up a command prompt, and typing:

:source-file ~/.tmux.conf

Or simply from a shell:

$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

# set-window-option -g automatic-rename off 
set-option -g allow-rename off

Comment the first one, and set the second one, in the ~/.tmux.conf It works for me.

As suggested on the Super User link, setting the following variable in your .bashrc or .zshrc seems to solve the issue:

DISABLE_AUTO_TITLE=true
