A command-line system information tool written in bash 3.2+

Neofetch is a command-line system information tool written in bash 3.2+. Neofetch displays information about your operating system, software and hardware in an aesthetic and visually pleasing way.

The overall purpose of Neofetch is to be used in screen-shots of your system. Neofetch shows the information other people want to see. There are other tools available for proper system statistic/diagnostics.

The information by default is displayed alongside your operating system's logo. You can further configure Neofetch to instead use an image, a custom ASCII file, your wallpaper or nothing at all.

You can further configure Neofetch to display exactly what you want it to. Through the use of command-line flags and the configuration file you can change existing information outputs or add your own custom ones.

Neofetch supports almost 150 different operating systems. From Linux to Windows, all the way to more obscure operating systems like Minix, AIX and Haiku. If your favourite operating system is unsupported: Open up an issue and support will be added.

Installation

Clone the repository and install system-wide. This copies neofetch to /usr/bin and symlinks config.conf into ~/.config/neofetch/ so the repo is the single source of truth for your config.

git clone <your-repo-url> ~/neofetch
cd ~/neofetch
sudo make install PREFIX=/usr

Note: If an existing ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf is found, it is backed up to config.conf.bak before the symlink is created.

Updating

Pull the latest changes and reinstall in one step:

cd ~/neofetch
sudo make update PREFIX=/usr

This runs git pull followed by make install. The system binary and config symlink are always kept in sync with this repository.

Configuration

The canonical config lives at config.conf in this repository. ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf is a symlink pointing to it, so editing config.conf here takes effect immediately — no reinstall needed for config-only changes.
