Setting up Alacritty,Fish and Nerd Font in Fedora.

This project was motivated by Programming Rainbow, Feel free to check out his staff on Youtube and his github.

I was heavily influenced by a video of his where he set up Alacritty, Fish and JetBrains Nerd fonts in Archlinux. Command for installing Alacritty in fedora is

Setting up Alacritty.

Command for installing Alacritty in fedora is

sudo dnf install Alacritty

Adding color schemes to Alacritty

mkdir -p ~/.config/alacritty/themes
git clone https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty-theme ~/.config/alacritty/themes

Now to install Jetbrains nerd font, run,

sudo dnf install cascadia-code-nf-fonts

If the installation was successfull, in you local terminal you should be able to see the cascadia-code-nf-fonts as an option in the fonts.

After installing navigate to the alacritty.tmol

cd .config/alacritty/

Open to edit the all the lines with 'Jetbrains nerd font' to 'cascadia-code-nf-fonts' as follows; nano alacritty.tmol from family = "JetBrains Mono Nerd Font" to

family = "Cascadia Code NF"

save then exit. You have successfully installed and configured alacritty. Feel free to checkout the attached alacritty.tmol file.

Setting up fish.

To install fish, run the following command, sudo dnf install fish Add default .config file for fish

mkdir -p ~/.config/fish/config.fish
cp Terminal/.config/fish/config.fish ~/.config/fish/config.fish

Install Eza, sudo dnf install eza

And to install starship, switch to su mode then run, dnf copr enable atim/starship to enable the COPR repository which provides the package for fedora.

dnf copr enable atim/starship

Now to install

dnf install starship

Now shell colour script, you can get the color scripts from a handfull github accounts, take care, charitarthchugh/shell-color-scripts, shreyas-a-s/shell-color-scripts or faraaz-baig/shell-color-scripts:. To install, clone one github repo, and copy the scripts to your $PATH as shown.

git clone https://github.com/faraaz-baig/shell-color-scripts.git
cd shell-color-scripts
rm -rf /opt/shell-color-scripts || return 1
sudo mkdir -p /opt/shell-color-scripts/colorscripts || return 1
sudo cp -rf colorscripts/* /opt/shell-color-scripts/colorscripts
sudo cp colorscript.sh /usr/bin/colorscript

Now to change the user default shell chsh -s /bin/fish

You might need to log out then back in or restart your pc.

If when you open Alacritty your terminal it doesn't automatically load up fish, consider looking in the ~/.config/fish/config.fish/config.fish file from that path out of the /config.fish folder Try renaming the config.fish dir to config.backup using

mv ~/.config/fish/config.fish ~/.config/fish/config.backup

Now move or copy the config.fish

cp ~/.config/fish/config.backup/config.fish ~/.config/fish/

Again ,You might need to log out then back in or restart your pc for the changes to take effect.

Yep the is it have fun and enjoy yourselves.
