## Alacritty

[Alacritty](https://alacritty.org/) is a high performance terminal that use
OpenGL for GPU accelaration. MSYS2 provides it as a [mingw package](https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-alacritty).
To use it with MSYS2, install the package and change terminal settings with
following steps:

* Create settings file in `%APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.toml`.
* Open it, then put these lines

```toml
[terminal.shell]
program = "cmd.exe"
args = "["/c", "C:\\msys64\\msys2_shell", "-defterm", "-here", "-no-start", "-ucrt64"]
```

* Changes will apply after restart
