fetch

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 of your choice!

Features

• Supports Linux, Mac OS X and Windows (Cygwin)!
  • If the script isn't working on your system open an issue.
• It's Fast
  • The script makes heavy use of bash builtins and string manipulation.
• Display an image next to the info. (or not)
  • The script can use your wallpaper, shuffle through a directory or just display an image.
• Highly Customizable
  • You can customize almost everything.
    • See Usage below or lines 23-233 in script
• Take a screenshot at the end.
  • It's disabled by default and you can specify the cmd to use with --scrotcmd cmd at launch or by changing the value of $scrotcmd in the script.
• Smart crop (or Waifu crop)
  • See https://github.com/dylanaraps/fetch/wiki/What-is-Smart-Crop%3F

Dependencies

These are the script's required dependencies

• Bash 4.0+
• Text formatting, dynamic image size and padding: tput
• Uptime detection: procps or procps-ng

These are the script's optional dependencies:

• Displaying Images: w3m
  • You may also need w3m-img
• Image Cropping: ImageMagick
• Display Wallpaper: feh
• Current Song: mpc
• Resolution Detection: xorg-xdpyinfo
• Window manager detection: wmctrl
  • This is used as a fallback to parsing .xinitrc and $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP.
• Take a screenshot on script finish: scrot
  • You can change this to another program with a --scrotcmd and an in script option.

Installation

Arch

1. Install fetch-git from the aur.

Others

1. Download the latest source at https://github.com/dylanaraps/fetch
2. Make the file executable using chmod. chmod +x /path/to/fetch
3. Move the script to somewhere in your $PATH or just run it from where it is.

Usage

The script now supports dynamic image sizing and padding, <br> it's enabled by default and there's a variable you <br> need to set for it to work correctly.

You can either change the variable $fontwidth inside of the <br> script or launch it with --font_width num.

Once you set the var the script will scale the image and padding <br> to fit your terminal window.

Please report any bugs or issues you're having with this as I can't <br> test with many configurations.

TODO

Here's what's on my todo list

• Add Windows resolution detection

• Cleanup of info array handling

• Imagemagick optimizations

• More info outputs. Now that it's easy to customize what's printed and everything is a function we can add optional support for pretty much anything.

  • Resolution (Done!)
  • GTK themes
  • Terminal Font
  • GPU
  • IP
  • etc
