Tmux: How to configure tmux to display the current working directory of a pane on the status bar?

Question

I am new to tmux and I am trying to edit my tmux.conf file to have the left side of the status bar reflect:

[SessionName] [CurrentPane] [CurrentWorkingDirectory]

I'm not sure how to do this in bash, but in zsh, there's a hook that gets run before every command. In your .zshrc:

precmd () {
    tmux set -qg status-left "#S #P $(pwd)"
}

This will run that tmux command everytime you run a command. Hope this helps. Since bash doesn't have a precmd, I'm not sure how to do this.
