UPDATE: After making this video, many of you recommended WezTerm and I decided to give it a try. It's awesome, so thank you! Though Alacritty works great, WezTerm is a bit better in my opinion. I've added a ~/.wezterm.lua config file to the repo: github.com/josean-dev/dev-environment-files/blob/main/.wezterm.lua. This is all you need to change to have pretty much the same setup as the one shown in this video, but with WezTerm instead. Thanks!

In what way(s) is WezTerm a bit better? For that matter, in what *perceptible" ways is Alacritty faster than iTerm2 -- what tasks would make the speed difference noticeable?

WezTerm is another accelerated GPU terminal Emulator?

hi, i recently discoverd your channel, all i may say is, thank you, wow. Good quality, well presented, not bloated with unuseful information. Thanks!!!!

I've been using Alacritty for a couple months so I didn't pick up many tips from that section. However, your history keybindings tips were awesome. That was worth the price of the whole video.

Fantastic tutorial. Thanks for the clear instructions and blog.

Awesome. Just setup my config last month and had to research a lot. It's great finally someone did the hard work and dropped the vid. Also can you make a video on setting up fish terminal?

Flawless as always! Great job!

Hey great video keep up the good work, watched an old setup video recently, the section about internet sharing for testing websites on mobile. Can you do a video or short explaining how it’s done. Or any resources you can share on how you got this done.🙏

Hi Josean, great video! May I ask that how do you record a single window with shadow so you can overlay the recording to a background video?

I absolutely love your Coolnight theme. I was poking around your Git repo hoping to find that theme for VS Code. I know you like Neovim but did you ever construct a Coolnight for VS Code?

I love your videos. !Great work, my man!

Awesome! Are you using any enhanced versions of Ranger/Dirvish, too?

Amazing videos 🎉

Hey 👋, Thanks for your videos! you rocks! quick question, why did you set the env. variable TERM to xterm-256color? I'm curious about it.

Hey guys! I’ve been using Alacritty recently and have really enjoyed it because its simple and suits my nvim/tmux workflow well. That said, there’s other great options out there I haven’t tried yet like Kitty, Wezterm or Warp. I might look into them in the future, but use whatever works well for you! Hope you enjoy the video!

kitty, alacritty, wezterm, can't go wrong. installed all, except kitty. and i prefer alacritty for main terminal, wezterm for "just in case". tried warp, it's not for me, it was fun though.

Thanks for the video. I used Alacritty for almost a year on Mac. But I switched to Wezterm due to the lack of features in Alacrttiy compared to Wezterm. Font ligatures was for me the reason to switch to Wezterm and also Lua config.

Hi @joseanmartinez do u know how to add the standard mac border, as it is right now its borderless on mac. Thanks !

very helpful

what is technical reason to choose alacritty instead of kitty or other ?

using warp with tmux and nvim with the same config I had in iterm2 . I do not wanna make the switch yet. Keep using iterm2 from time to time but warp is fast - 2 fast- and as a bonus - it got AI. BTW after watching your videos o am switched also to a wireless corne xiao build. Can you share your layers ? thank you and chapeau!

my tip is to create an alias in Arc for my current terminal (i use “terminal” although it shadows the terminal app). since i frequently try out terminals, browsers, etc. i don’t want to remember the name of the app i currently or open the wrong one by mistake

Well done, nive rice you have there!

Big fan of Warp, especially now it’s on Mac and Linux. However, their endgame has to be subscription or something so it will get down to paid vs open at some point. Happy to pay if it gives me features that I need and so far it does.

I like ligatures, so Alacritty is out for me. Wezterm wins.
