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

--class<GENERAL> | <GENERAL>,<INSTANCE>

           Defines the window class hint on Linux.

           When only the general class is passed, instance will be set to the same value.

           On Wayland the general class sets the app_id, while the instance class is ignored.

           Default: Alacritty,Alacritty-e,--command<COMMAND>...

           Command and args to execute (must be last argument).

       --config-file<CONFIG_FILE>

           Specify alternative configuration file.

           Alacritty doesn't create the config file for you, but it looks for one in the following locations  on
           UNIX systems:

               1.  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty/alacritty.toml
               2.  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty.toml
               3.  $HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml
               4.  $HOME/.alacritty.toml

           On Windows, the config file will be looked for in:

               1.  %APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.toml--embed<PARENT>

           X11 window ID to embed Alacritty within (decimal or hexadecimal with 0x prefix).

       -o,--option<OPTION>...

           Override configuration file options.

           Example: alacritty-o'cursor.style="Beam"'--socket<SOCKET>

           Path for IPC socket creation.

       -T,--title<TITLE>

           Defines the window title.

           Default: Alacritty--working-directory<WORKING_DIRECTORY>

           Start the shell in the specified working directory.

alacritty-msg(1), alacritty(5), alacritty-bindings(5)

msg

           Send IPC socket messages (see alacritty-msg(1)).

       migrate

           Migrate the configuration file.

           -c,--config-file<CONFIG_FILE>

               Path to the configuration file.

           -d,--dry-run

               Only output TOML config to STDOUT.

           -i,--skip-imports

               Do not recurse over imports.

           --skip-renames

               Do not move renamed fields to their new location.

           -s,--silent

               Do not output to STDOUT.

           -h,--help

       Alacritty  is  a  modern  terminal  emulator  that comes with sensible defaults, 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.
