Funny, I just switched to alacritty after using iTerm2 for over a decade because I wanted to get closer to a no frills experience (do one thing well). This was after trying warp terminal which is firmly heading in the opposite direction. Whatever the case, it’s nice to have a bunch of great options.
- amanzi 2y agoI did the same thing last night. Spent 10 minutes setting up a config file, which I then added to my dotconfig repo, and had Alacritty working perfectly. Highly recommended!
- leftcenterright 2y agoCould you share some more insights about your experience with Warp? I have been meaning to give it a try for the feature set around workflows.
- tmountain 2y agoWarp is really radical. It’s a completely reimagined terminal experience. It’s an AI first experience with the intention that you never need to Google another command invocation. They have a feature which allows you to save and label frequently used commands for easy access. Input and output are completely separated. It feels truly innovative, but for me, it was too much of a departure from the familiar environment of a traditional terminal. I can see people that are ready for it truly loving it. The only major downside is that they require you to register to use it, and I have seen people mention that it sends a lot of data “home”. I can see that being a dealbreaker for many. My low-tech alternative approach is to use alacritty with atuin and starship. Three tractable suckless programs that work beautifully together. Like anything, it’s a matter of preference and needs.
