NAME
Alacritty - A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator
SYNOPSIS
alacritty [SUBCOMMANDS] [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Alacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible de-
faults, but allows for extensive configuration. By integrating with
other applications, rather than reimplementing their functionality, it
manages to provide a flexible set of features with high performance.
FLAGS

--hold Remain open after child process exits

--class <general> | <general>,<instance>

stance class is ignored.

2. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty.yml
3. $HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml

On Windows, the configuration file is located at %APP-
DATA%\alacritty\alacritty.yml.
