tmux 2.0 on OSX: ~/.tmux.conf doesn't work
I've installed tmux 2.0 from homebrew on OSX 10.10.5 By default it does not create a config, but I've researched that there should be ~/.tmux.conf file so I've created it myself I'm using iTerm2.
The problem is that whatever I add to this config file - it doesn't affect tmux. So after restarting tmux I see no changes…
I want my tmux to have large scrollback buffer:
set -g history-limit 65000No result((
I want to install this awesome tmux-powerline but after folowing the instructions preciesly I see no changes - just standard tmux line instead of that nice customized one(( I've tried even powerline project and it works with Vim and prompt line, but totally ignores my Tmux line…
my ~/.tmux.conf:
### enable mouse: ###
set -g mode-mouse on
### Scrollback buffer ###
set -g history-limit 65000
### Powerline path: ###
#source /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/powerline/bindings/tmux/powerline.conf
### 256 colour support
#set -g default-terminal "xterm"
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
### TMUX-Powerline ###
set-option -g status on
set-option -g status-interval 2
set-option -g status-utf8 on
set-option -g status-justify "centre"
set-option -g status-left-length 60
set-option -g status-right-length 90
set-option -g status-left "#(~/scripts/tmux-powerline/powerline.sh left)"
set-option -g status-right "#(~/scripts/tmux-powerline/powerline.sh right)"
set-window-option -g window-status-current-format "#[fg=colour235, bg=colour27]⮀#[fg=colour255, bg=colour27] #I ⮁ #W #[fg=colour27, bg=colour235]⮀"Please help me to determine what's the problem with my tmux or it's config file. Thank you

For some reason tmux didn't reload the ~/.tmux.conf when doing just exit and tmux again.
So I addressed this issue with sudo kill $(pidof tmux). After starting new tmux session all worked properly
You can reload your config with tmux command:
:source-file ~/.tmux.confTo access tmux command line type Ctrl + b (or whatever your prefix is) followed by : .
