# https://alacritty.org/config-alacritty.html — "Alacritty doesn't create the
# config file for you, but it looks for one in the following locations on UNIX
# systems: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty/alacritty.toml,
# $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty.toml, $HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.toml,
# $HOME/.alacritty.toml, /etc/alacritty/alacritty.toml"; "On Windows, the config
# file will be looked for in: %APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.toml".
#
# The XDG variable is read on macOS too, so the first location is [configHome],
# which is also the %APPDATA%\alacritty spelling Windows uses. The bare
# $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty.toml has no Windows counterpart — Alacritty does
# not look for %APPDATA%\alacritty.toml — so on Windows that entry resolves to
# a file that simply is not there. /etc/alacritty is system-wide, not
# user-level, and is left out.

# No machine_lines: colours, fonts and bindings are exactly what a user wants
# carried between machines. `terminal.shell.program` and `working_directory`
# can hold an absolute path, but both are just as often a bare command or
# "None", so a rule on them would strand a preference as often as it caught a
# machine detail.
