Install Pre-requisite

Intall all the brew apps from install.txt

xargs brew install < install.txt

brew tap beeftornado/rmtree
brew rmtree <packagename>

Alacritty

Tip

To open Alacritty on mac, right click on the alacritty icon click Open & click Open again

To change the theme you need to create a sym link to the file you want with the following command.

# for light theme
ln -s ~/.config/alacritty/themes/light.toml ~/.config/alacritty/themes/my_theme.toml
# for dark theme
ln -s ~/.config/alacritty/themes/dark.toml ~/.config/alacritty/themes/my_theme.toml

By default, font smoothing causes fonts to be slightly bold in Alacritty.

# disble font smoothing
defaults -currentHost write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 0
# reset font smoothing
defaults -currentHost delete -g AppleFontSmoothing
