meta: Add back remaining dotfiles
Not sure if I'll remove these again. All I know is that I'll no longer
have to worry about not having certain dotfiles if I want to try a
particular setup again, which is nice.

# alacritty
[alacritty][alacritty] is a new terminal emulator written in Rust.
## Use Cases
alacritty can be used to:
- Have a terminal emulator that just works
- Have a terminal emulator with modern features like live reload, and without all the extras like window management
- Master [tmux](/tmux) since you won't be relying on window management of your terminal emulator
You should not use alacritty if:
- You have a desire to output images in your terminal (use [kitty](/kitty) instead since [libsixel][libsixel] support is WIP)
- You have a need to use Japanese input in your terminal ([an issue][ime-support] for over 3 years in alacritty, [kitty](/kitty) supports this)
