Some plugins would name their repository not after the plugin, but after the app, notably catppuccin/tmux
Their install instructions recommend using tpm like this
set -g @plugin 'catppuccin/tmux'
This results in the following folder path ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux.
Not very descriptive and potentially even conflicting.
Git can already clone a repository into a custom target directory
I got bit this! I wanted to switch from catppuccin/tmux to dracula/tmux but when I <prefix>+I, the dracula plugin just wouldn't get installed. Then I looked into ~/.config/tmux/plugins and found that the catpuccin theme was in the tmux folder. I deleted this folder and only then did dracula get installed, also at the tmux folder! So plugins are not namespaced by the github username; the repo names are essentially global.

git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-open.git ~/.tmux/plugins/open
Right now, tpm would not recognize the
~/.tmux/plugins/open
as a validtmux-open
installation.Suggestion
