Simple script for updating tmux config files, converting deprecated -fg, -bg, and -attr options to the combined -style option

tmuxfixer.js

#!/usr/bin/env node
/* 
  tmuxfixer.js

  USAGE:
    $ node tmuxfixer.js old-conf-path [new-conf-path]
  
  PURPOSE & CONTEXT: This script takes in a tmux configuration file and combines
  all deprecated -fg, -bg, and -attr into a single -style option line.
    
    In tmux 1.9, a new method for configuring tmux styles was introduced.
    Instead of specifying -fg, -bg, and -attr options individually, these were
    combined into a single -style option with an updated syntax. In tmux 2.9,
    these old options were officially removed. Further details can be found in
    the tmux manual (https://man.openbsd.org/tmux.1#STYLES)

    The script only modifies the deprecated -fg, -bg, and -attr options. All
    other lines are left untouched. The new -style option will be placed on the
    line of the first matching option family, and all subsequent lines deleted.
    For example: if you have `set status-fg red` on line 10 and `set status-bg
    black` on line 15, line 15 will be removed and `set status-style
    fg=red,bg=black` will be placed on line 10.

    In an effort to preserve the original intention of the input tmux config,
    different option setting commands (set, set-option, set-window-option, etc)
    are preserved along with their arguments. That means the lines `set -gwq
    status-fg red` and `set-option -g status-bg blue` are translated into the
    separate lines `set -gwq status-style fg=red` and `set-option -g
    status-style bg=blue`.

Worked perfectly for me!
Thanks a lot! 🙏
