Neofetch

This is the home of my fetch script! This script gathers info
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 > https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/wiki

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

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:

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.
