Enables displaying username (whoami) and root status information in Tmux status-right and status-left.

Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'Avyiel/tmux-uroot'

Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it.

If format strings are added to status-right, they should now be visible.

Clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-uroot ~/clone/path

Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf:

run-shell ~/clone/path/uroot.tmux

Reload TMUX environment:

# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

If format strings are added to status-right, they should now be visible.

Add any of the supported format strings (see below) to the existing status-right tmux option. Example:

# in .tmux.conf
set -g status-right '#{username}#{root} | %a %h-%d %H:%M '

This plugins is really just porting part of gpakosz's .tmux, which is published under the WTFPLv2 and MIT licenses. I also borrowed the interpolation part of the plugin from the excelent tmux-plugins repository, which is also published under the MIT license.
