Alacritty upstream NAK’d my install script so I created a repository for it:
https://codeberg.org/jarkko/alacritty-install
I also modified it to install the icon and desktop file by default with the perfix ~/.local
.
Usage:
alacritty-install -h
usage: alacritty-install [-bhp]
-b <wayland|x11> select the rendering backend
-h usage information
-p <prefix> select the installation prefix (defaults to '/usr/local')
Just a convenient way to get the bleeding edge binary, which is convenient because typical Rust app is a single fat binary.
Edited the repository a bit.
I find this cool way to create the first commit:
❯ git log --oneline
d210dc8 (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD) feat: ramp up `alacritty-install`

I.e. “merkle tree root” having neither commit message nor payload. my “autistic tendencies” really tickle for this ;-)
