alacritty: Run with live config reload enabled (can also be enabled by default in `alacritty.yml`).

alacritty

$ alacritty --live-config-reload --config-file ${path-to-config-yml}

try on your machine

The command "alacritty --live-config-reload --config-file ${path-to-config-yml}" is used to launch the Alacritty terminal emulator, with certain options specified.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its options:

"alacritty": This is the command to launch the Alacritty terminal emulator.
"--live-config-reload": This option enables live reloading of the configuration file. It means that if you make any changes to the configuration file while Alacritty is running, those changes will be immediately applied without needing to restart the terminal.
"--config-file ${path-to-config-yml}": This option specifies the path to the configuration file that Alacritty should load. "${path-to-config-yml}" should be replaced with the actual file path of the configuration file. The configuration file is usually a YAML file (.yml) that contains settings and preferences for customizing Alacritty's behavior.

Using this command, Alacritty will be launched with the provided configuration file and enable live reloading, allowing you to modify the configuration and immediately see the changes in the running terminal emulator.
