```
server.Server.sourceFile(path: : string) -> Promise<void>
```

Run a tmux config file against this server.

tmux does not expand `~` here. `source-file` joins a path that is not
absolute to the client's working directory and globs the result, so
`"~/.tmux.conf"` looks for a directory literally named `~`. Typing it at a
shell works because the shell expands it first; passing it as a string
never does.

## Example

```ts
await server.sourceFile(`${process.env["HOME"] ?? "."}/.tmux.conf`);
```
