alacritty: Specify alternative configuration file (defaults to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty/alacritty.yml`).
$ alacritty --config-file ${path-to-config-yml}
try on your machine

This command launches the Alacritty terminal emulator, specifying the configuration file to use through the --config-file flag.

The ${path-to-config-yml} placeholder should be replaced with the actual file path of the config.yml file. This YAML file contains the configuration settings for Alacritty, such as colors, font, size, and other behavior options. By specifying a custom configuration file, you can further customize Alacritty to suit your preferences or requirements.
