+** Alert

+Alert is another library that better implements system notifications through emacs. As I use both MacOS and Linux, notifications don't work out of the box for both systems. Using alert, I can change this by selecting a working notify system for each OS.

 ** MacOS Environment Fix
 
 When using emacs on MacOS, the environment variables are not synced properly and therefore require a separate package to fix this. In this case, this package is the ~exec-path-from-shell~.
