### 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
