# Neofetch

[![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/dylanaraps/fetch.svg)](https://gitter.im/dylanaraps/fetch?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/dylanaraps/neofetch.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/dylanaraps/neofetch) [![MIT licensed](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-blue.svg)](./LICENSE.md) [![Latest release](https://img.shields.io/github/release/dylanaraps/neofetch.svg)](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/releases)

This is the home of my fetch script! This script gathers info <br />
about your system and prints it to the terminal next to an image, <br \>
your distro's logo or any ascii art of your choice!

Have a look at the wiki, I've updated/added some new pages!<br \>

## Features

- Supports **Linux**, **MacOS**, **iOS**, **BSD**, **Solaris**, **Android**, **Haiku OS**, **GNU Hurd** and **Windows (Cygwin/Windows 10 Linux subsystem)**
- Display a **full color image**, a file containing **ascii art** or your **distro's logo** in ascii next to the info.
- The script is **fast**. We use bash builtins wherever possible and only spawn external processes when necessary.
- Take a screenshot of your desktop on script finish.
- Customize **which** info is displayed, **where** it's displayed and **when** it's displayed.
    - See this **[wiki page](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/wiki/Customizing-Info)**

## Installation

## Post Install


#### Using the config file

Neofetch will by default create a config file at `$HOME/.config/neofetch/config` and this file<br \>
contains all of the script's options/settings. The config file allows you to keep your<br \>
customizations between script versions and allows you to easily share your customizations<br \>
with other people.

You can launch the script without a config file by using the flag `--config none` and you can<br \>
specify a custom config location using `--config path/to/config`.


#### Customizing what info gets displayed

https://github.com/dylanaraps/fetch/wiki/Customizing-Info


#### Customizing the script using a custom alias

If you don't want to use the config file you can customize almost everything using launch flags!

Here's an example neofetch alias:

```sh
alias neofetch2="neofetch \
--config off \
--block_range 1 8 \
--bold off \
--uptime_shorthand on \
--gtk_shorthand on \
--colors 4 1 8 8 8 7 \
"
```


## Frequently Asked Questions


#### How do I enable screenfetch mode?

Launching the script with `--ascii` or setting `image="ascii"` <br \>
inside the config file will launch the script in "screenfetch mode". The script will<br \>
display your distro's ascii next to the info, exactly like screenfetch.

**NOTE:** If you **don't** have `w3m-img` or `imagemagick` installed screenfetch mode will be<br \>
used automatically

#### Why doesn't Neofetch support my wallpaper setter?

It's hard to add support for other wallpaper setters as they don't provide a way of <br \>
getting the current wallpaper from the cli.

If your wallpaper setter **does** provide a way of getting the current wallpaper or you<br \>
know where it's stored then adding support won't be a problem!<br \>


## Issues and Workarounds


#### The text is pushed over too far to the right

The easiest way to fix this is to change the value of `--gap` or `$gap`<br \>
to a negative value. For example `--gap -10` will move the text 10 spaces to the left.


#### getgpu doesn't show my exact video card name

If your `lspci | grep "VGA"` output looks like this:

```
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 1401 (rev a1)
```

Instead of this:

```
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] (rev a1)
```

Then you're affected by the issue.

This is caused by your `/usr/share/misc/pci.ids\*` files being outdated and you can fix it<br \>
by running this command as root.

```
sudo update-pciids
```

#### Neofetch doesn't work correctly with ConEmu.

You need to be using the CYGWIN/Msys connector for Neofetch to work seamlessly with ConEmu.
