Template for VoidLinux

Patch to add support to Alacritty for graphics (Sixel and iTerm2 protocols)

Alacritty is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults, but allows for extensive configuration. By integrating with other applications, rather than reimplementing their functionality, it manages to provide a flexible set of features with high performance. The supported platforms currently consist of BSD, Linux, macOS and Windows.

NOTE

This version will replace your existing alacritty binary , so take care.

also , please take a look in your fastfecth configuration file that you have something like this:

// Logo section , remove it and you will get the ascii format
    "logo": {
    "type":"sixel",
