The command alacritty --working-directory ${path-to-directory}
opens the Alacritty terminal emulator and sets the working directory to the specified ${path-to-directory}
.
Here's what each component means:
-
alacritty
: This is the command to launch the Alacritty terminal emulator. Alacritty is a lightweight and highly customizable terminal emulator for Linux, macOS, and Windows. -
--working-directory
: This flag is used to specify the working directory in which the Alacritty terminal opens. A working directory is a directory in a file system from which all relative paths are evaluated. -
${path-to-directory}
: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file path of the desired directory. For example, if you want to open the terminal in the directory/home/user/Documents
, you would replace${path-to-directory}
with/home/user/Documents
.
Overall, the command opens the Alacritty terminal and sets the working directory to the specified directory. This allows you to start the terminal with a specific working directory instead of the default one.
