Alacritty - A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator

- - - -## Installation, Documentation and Examples - -      Alacritty for Windows - -      Alacritty for Mac - -Alacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults, but -allows for extensive [configuration](#configuration). By integrating with other -applications, rather than reimplementing their functionality, it manages to -provide a flexible set of [features](./docs/features.md) with high performance. -The supported platforms currently consist of BSD, Linux, macOS and Windows. - -The software is considered to be at a **beta** level of readiness; there are -a few missing features and bugs to be fixed, but it is already used by many as -a daily driver. - -Precompiled binaries are available from the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/releases). - -## Features - -You can find an overview over the features available in Alacritty [here](./docs/features.md). - -## Further information - -- [Announcing Alacritty, a GPU-Accelerated Terminal Emulator](https://jwilm.io/blog/announcing-alacritty/) January 6, 2017 -- [A talk about Alacritty at the Rust Meetup January 2017](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHOdYO3WUTk) January 19, 2017 -- [Alacritty Lands Scrollback, Publishes Benchmarks](https://jwilm.io/blog/alacritty-lands-scrollback/) September 17, 2018 -- [Version 0.3.0 Release Announcement](https://blog.christianduerr.com/alacritty_030_announcement) April 07, 2019 -- [Version 0.5.0 Release Announcement](https://blog.christianduerr.com/alacritty_0_5_0_announcement) July 31, 2020 - -## Installation - -Alacritty can be installed by using various package managers on Linux, BSD, -macOS and Windows. - -Prebuilt binaries for macOS and Windows can also be downloaded from the -[GitHub releases page](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/releases). - -For everyone else, the detailed instructions to install Alacritty can be found -[here](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/INSTALL.md). - -### Requirements - -- OpenGL 3.3 or higher -- [Windows] ConPTY support (Windows 10 version 1809 or higher) - -## Configuration - -You can find the default configuration file with documentation for all available -fields on the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/releases) for each release. - -Alacritty doesn't create the config file for you, but it looks for one in the -following locations: - -1. `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty/alacritty.yml` -2. `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty.yml` -3. `$HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml` -4. `$HOME/.alacritty.yml` - -An example of an `alacritty.yml` configuration file can be found [here](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/alacritty.yml). - -### Windows - -On Windows, the config file should be located at: - -`%APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.yml` - -## Contributing - -A guideline about contributing to Alacritty can be found in the -[`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md) file. - -## FAQ - -**_Is it really the fastest terminal emulator?_** - -Benchmarking terminal emulators is complicated. Alacritty uses -[vtebench](https://github.com/alacritty/vtebench) to quantify terminal emulator -throughput and manages to consistently score better than the competition using -it. If you have found an example where this is not the case, please report a -bug. - -Other aspects like latency or framerate and frame consistency are more difficult -to quantify. Some terminal emulators also intentionally slow down to save -resources, which might be preferred by some users. - -If you have doubts about Alacritty's performance or usability, the best way to -quantify terminal emulators is always to test them with **your** specific -usecases. - -**_Why isn't feature X implemented?_** - -Alacritty has many great features, but not every feature from every other -terminal. This could be for a number of reasons, but sometimes it's just not a -good fit for Alacritty. This means you won't find things like tabs or splits -(which are best left to a window manager or [terminal multiplexer][tmux]) nor -niceties like a GUI config editor. - -## IRC - -Alacritty discussions can be found in `#alacritty` on Libera.Chat. - -## License - -Alacritty is released under the [Apache License, Version 2.0]. - -[Apache License, Version 2.0]: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/blob/master/LICENSE-APACHE -[tmux]: https://github.com/tmux/tmux + \ No newline at end of file
