About

Atty is a cli utility for Alacritty color theme switching.

Note

This hasn't been tested on Windows and OS X yet. There'll probably be issues with default settings, as it's looking for the $HOME/.config/alacritty folder, but after setting the --config and --theme_dir flags, it should work just fine.

Install

The recommended way to get atty is to install the latest stable release:

pip install atty --user

or using pipx:

pipx install atty

How to Use

The default themes folder is in $HOME/.config/alacritty/themes/.

Example:

.
├── alacritty
│   ├── alacritty.yml
