> Import a workspace from a supported external configuration format. Select one of the two child commands.

**tmuxp compatibility reference.** Examples using `tmuxp` run the Python reference. [Local CLI status](../../reference/compatibility/) describes this port's implemented coverage.

Import a workspace from a supported external configuration format. Select one of
the two child commands.

## Choose the source format

- [Teamocil](../import-teamocil/) converts a Teamocil workspace.
- [tmuxinator](../import-tmuxinator/) converts a tmuxinator workspace.

The parent command groups importers and has no workspace file argument of its
own. Each child requires a source at the parser boundary, despite
optional-looking help. Conversion is schema translation; it does not make
tmuxinator Ruby or ERB evaluation available in a native YAML reader.

## Arguments and flags

The parent accepts `-h` / `--help` and selects a child command.

All commands accept `-h` / `--help`. Root options precede the command; see the
[CLI overview](../). The [output reference](../../reference/output/)
distinguishes current Python flags from native all-command JSON and NDJSON.
