alacritty colors

About

This repo contains snippets for color schemes to use with alacritty terminal emulator (and other similar apps) and bash scripts to apply themes and show the current theme's colors.

Demo

Here is a quick demo of the process of applying themes to alacritty.

How to use

Clone the repo and give execute permissions to included scripts.

# Latest version
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dchakro/alacritty_colors.git

# or clone the complete repo
git clone https://github.com/dchakro/alacritty_colors.git

cd alacritty_colors
chmod +x show_colors.sh apply_theme.sh

Enable Live Config Reload for alacritty if it is not enabled already by adding the followin line in your ~/.alacritty.yml.
```
live_config_reload: true
```
Here is a shell command to do it.
```
echo "live_config_reload: true" >> ~/.alacritty.yml
```

Overwrite the base.yml with your ~/.alacritty.yml.

cd /path/to/alacritty_colors
cp ~/.alacritty.yml ./base.yml

(Optional) Remove the current color scheme (if any) from the file base.yml, so that the "reset" function in the included script will restore default alacritty colors. Otherwise it will restore your current color scheme.
Apply/Backup/Reset themes using
```
./apply_theme.sh
```

Info

If you want to view the colors from your current color scheme without cloning this repo, you can do so by running:

curl -sL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dchakro/alacritty_colors/master/show_colors.sh' | bash

Note:

Most of these themes are (as-is or modified) from alacritty's wiki.
While making this repo I didn’t realize that there are repos like eendroroy’s and rajasegar's repos where they have been putting in the effort for a long time. I will maintain this repo to archive other color schemes that I might find interesting over time.
- Unlike their repos this repo provides open-source simple bash scripts to view the theme colors and apply the themes.
