@kevomac12 I'd assume because it builds and installs the binary, after which you don't need the source code or the build artifacts anymore. Stuff that's in /tmp/* implies it's allowed to be deleted/not for longterm storage.

This is great! Thank you.
One thing to mention here to anyone running this. Make sure at the very end to reload your shell before running tmux -V

Edit

I used it to make a install script that should work with Debian and CentOS based systems. This doesn't depend on git and builds a specified version from source.
