alacritty: Run in a specific directory.

alacritty

$ alacritty --working-directory ${path-to-directory}

try on your machine

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.
