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!

<!-- Dependences {{{ -->

|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
### Required dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- `Bash 3.0+`
|
|
- Alpine Linux: You also need `ncurses`.
|
|
- `xprop` \[1\]
|
|
- `procps-ng`
|
|
- Not required on OS X
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Optional dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- Displaying images: `w3m-img` \[2\] \[3\] or `iTerm2` \[4\]
|
|
- Thumbnail creation: `imagemagick`
|
|
|
|
##### Linux / BSD
|
|
|
|
- Wallpaper: `feh`, `nitrogen` or `gsettings`
|
|
- Current Song: `mpc` or `cmus`
|
|
- Resolution: `xorg-xdpyinfo`
|
|
- Screenshot: `scrot` \[5\]
|
|
|
|
|
|
\[1\] See **[#79](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/issues/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.
|
|
|
|
\[4\] You can enable the `iTerm2` image backend by using the launch flag `--image_backend iterm2` or by<br \>
|
|
changing the config option `$image_backend` to `iterm2`.
|
|
|
|
\[5\] 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.

## Post Install
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Using the config file
|
|
|
|
Neofetch will by default create a config file at `$HOME/.config/neofetch/config` and this file<br \>
|
|
contains all of the script's options/settings. The config file allows you to keep your<br \>
|
|
customizations between script versions and allows you to easily share your customizations<br \>
|
|
with other people.
|
|
|
|
You can launch the script without a config file by using the flag `--config none` and you can<br \>
|
|
specify a custom config location using `--config path/to/config`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Setting the prompt height
|
|
|
|
If your shell prompt's height is greater than 1 line high, you'll need to change a config<br \>
|
|
option to avoid issues with the top lines in the script output getting cut off. Set the variable<br \>
|
|
`$prompt_height` to your shell prompt's height in lines or use the launch flag `--prompt_height`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### 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 what my fetch alias looks like:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
alias fetch2="fetch \
|
|
--block_range 1 8 \
|
|
--line_wrap off \
|
|
--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 `ascii="distro"` and `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 too long for my terminal window and wraps to the next line
|
|
|
|
There are a few ways to fix this.
|
|
|
|
* Disable line wrapping with `line_wrap=off` in the script or with the launch flag `--line_wrap off`
|
|
* The uptime and gtk info lines each have a shorthand option that makes their output smaller. You can <br \>
|
|
enable them by changing these variables or using these flags.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Config options
|
|
uptime_shorthand="on"
|
|
gtk_shorthand="on"
|
|
gpu_shorthand="on"
|
|
birthday_shorthand="on"
|
|
|
|
# Launch flags
|
|
--uptime_shorthand on
|
|
--gtk_shorthand on
|
|
--gpu_shorthand on
|
|
--birthday_shorthand on
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Edit the config to make the subtitles shorter
|
|
* Resizing the terminal so that the lines don't wrap.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### 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
|
|
```
