Alacritty-Config

Just my personal alacritty config, I use it as my main, I also use py-wal. There will be instructions on how to use that. Make sure to use the alacritty terminal, other terminals won't work

How to install Alacritty:

Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S alacritty

Debian/Ubuntu Based: sudo apt install alacritty

Fedora: sudo dnf install alacritty

Steps to use my config :

1. make a directory (if not already made) by running:

mkdir ~/.config/alacritty/

2. Copy my config into the newly created directory by runnning the following commands:

cd ~/.config/alacritty

git clone https://github.com/atreyaved/Alacritty-Config.git

cd Alacritty-config

mv alacritty.yml ~/.config/alacritty

3. Now just restart alacritty

Steps to install py-wal:

Pywal is basically changed your terminal color scheme according to a image

1. Install the package:

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S python-pywal

Debian/Ubuntu based distros:

sudo apt insatll sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install pywal

Fedora:

sudo dnf install python3-pip
sudo pip3 intsall pywal

2. Use pywal:

wal -i <path_to_your_image> for the image I recommend just using your wallpaper

3. Starting automatically:

Now that you have installed pywal, we are gonna start it whenever your terminal starts, to do that, do the following nano ~/.bashrc (or your favorite text editor)

Now paste the following lines to the end of the file:

# Import colorscheme from 'wal' asynchronously
# &   # Run the process in the background.
# ( ) # Hide shell job control messages.
(cat ~/.cache/wal/sequences &)
# Alternative (blocks terminal for 0-3ms)
cat ~/.cache/wal/sequences
# To add support for TTYs this line can be optionally added.
source ~/.cache/wal/colors-tty.sh
