alacritty: Run a command in a new Alacritty window.
$ alacritty -e ${command}
try on your machine

The command "alacritty -e ${command}" is used to launch the terminal emulator called Alacritty and execute a specific command within it.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "alacritty": This is the name of the terminal emulator executable or command. Alacritty is a cross-platform, GPU-accelerated terminal emulator known for its speed and minimalism.

  • "-e": This option tells Alacritty to execute a command within the terminal.

  • "${command}": This is a placeholder indicating the specific command that you want to execute within Alacritty. The actual command you wish to run is substituted here, enclosed within the "${}" notation.

For example, if you wanted to launch Alacritty and execute the command "ls" (list directory contents) within it, you would replace "${command}" with "ls" resulting in the command "alacritty -e ls".

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
