A lightweight cross-platform terminal app based on Alacritty, inspired by Windows Terminal.

MSVC target is required for release build.

dnf install -y \
  clang \
  llvm \
  libxcb-devel \
  libxkbcommon-devel \
  libxkbcommon-x11-devel

apt install -y \
  clang \
  llvm \
  libxcb1-dev \
  libxkbcommon-dev \
  libxkbcommon-x11-dev

XCode is needed for metal sdk

xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch
xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain

For debug build, run:

cargo build

For release build, run:

cargo build --release

On Windows, debug symbols are stored in PDB files, and on Linux they are in the binary. To strip symbols from the binary, run:

llvm-objcopy --strip-all ./target/release/kazeterm

Run all unit tests:

cargo test --workspace

Generate coverage (requires cargo-llvm-cov):

cargo llvm-cov --workspace --all-features --lcov --output-path coverage/lcov.info

This produces coverage/lcov.info.
