neofetch's Introduction

Neofetch

Gitter Build Status MIT licensed Latest release

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, Mac OS X, iOS, BSD, Solaris and Windows (Cygwin)
  • 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.

Dependencies

Required dependencies:

  • Bash 3.0+
    • Alpine Linux: You also need ncurses.
iOS

These dependencies can all be installed through Cydia.<br > Note: The cydia package installs these dependencies for you.

  • Bourne-Again SHell
  • Core Utilities
  • Core Utilities (/bin)
  • Darwin Tools
  • system-cmds
  • Gawk
  • grep

Optional dependencies:

  • Desktop Environment and Window Manager: xprop [1]
  • Displaying images: w3m-img [2] [3] or iTerm2 or Terminology [4]
  • Thumbnail creation: imagemagick
  • Displaying song information from Google Play Music Desktop Player: gpmdp-remote
Linux / BSD / Solaris
  • Wallpaper: feh, nitrogen or gsettings
  • Current Song: mpc, cmus, moc, spotify, gpmdc
  • Resolution: xorg-xrandr or xorg-xdpyinfo [5]
  • Screenshot: scrot [6]
OSX
  • Resolution (quicker): screenresolution
BSD / Solaris
  • GPU: glxinfo
    • Not required on FreeBSD.
Windows (CYGWIN)
  • procps-ng or procps

[1] See #79 about why this is now a required dependency.

[2] w3m-img is sometimes bundled together with w3m.

[3] Image support only works in certain terminal emulators. The script will fallback to ascii mode on<br > terminal emulators that don't support the xterm escape sequences we're using for image sizing.

[4] Image support is built into Terminology and iTerm2, and doesn't require w3m-img.

[5] Xrandr is prefered over xdpyinfo as Xrandr supports multi monitor and refresh rate display in the<br > output.

[6] You can use the launch flag --scrot_cmd or change the config option $scrot_cmd to your screenshot<br > program's cmd and neofetch will use it instead of scrot.

Installation

Those using a git version of neofetch should check this page after<br > updating, this page lists any breaking changes that were made and<br > how you can workaround them.

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

In the config file there's a function that allows you to customize all of the info that<br > gets displayed.

Here's what you can do:

  • Add new info lines
  • Change the ordering of the info
  • Remove unwanted info lines
  • Use bash syntax to control when info gets displayed

See this wiki page that goes more in-depth about it:

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 \
"

Usage

usage: neofetch --option "value" --option "value"

NOTE: There's also a config option for each flag below.

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.

https://conemu.github.io/en/CygwinMsysConnector.html

Thanks

Thanks to:

  • Screenfetch:
    • I've used some snippets as a base for a few functions in this script.
    • Some of the ascii logos.
  • ufetch:
    • Tiny ascii logos
  • Everyone else helped out in one way or another. I'd list all of the names<br > but there's just too many of you. :)
