What is the idiomatic config to change the status line location from bottom to top?

I have tried using set-window-option -g status-position top (using tmuxinator), but as soon as I include that line, all the byobu features are gone and I'm back to standard tmux.

I struggled to find any documentation for this too. It turns out you have to modify byobu's tmux configuration file - not your local tmux config.

Adding the following worked for me

~/.byobu/.tmux.conf

# move status bar to the top
set-option -g status-position top
