### Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Although it's possible the default configuration would work on your system,
|
||||
you'll probably end up wanting to customize it anyhow. There is an
|
||||
`alacritty.yml` at the git repository root. Copy this to either
|
||||
`$HOME/.alacritty.yml` or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty.yml` and run Alacritty.
|

you'll probably end up wanting to customize it anyhow. There is a default
|
||||
`alacritty.yml` at the git repository root. Alacritty looks for the configuration
|
||||
file as the following paths:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty/alacritty.yml`
|
||||
2. `$HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml`
|
||||
|
||||
If these files are not found then one is created as `$HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml`
|
||||
once alacritty is first run.

||||
Many configuration options will take effect immediately upon saving changes to
|
||||
the config file. The only exception is the `font` and `dpi` section which
