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!
Have a look at the wiki, I've updated/added some new pages!<br \>

- [Android dependencies](#android)
### Required dependencies:
- `Bash 3.0+`
- Alpine Linux: You also need `ncurses`.
### Image mode dependencies:
These dependencies are required for image mode to work.
- Displaying images: `w3m-img` \[1\] or `iTerm2` or `Terminology` \[2\]
- Thumbnail creation: `imagemagick`
- Window size: A terminal emulator that supports `\033[14t` \[3\] or `xdotool` or `xwininfo + xprop` or `xwininfo + xdpyinfo`
\[1\] `w3m-img` is sometimes bundled together with `w3m`.
\[2\] Image support is built into Terminology and iTerm2, and doesn't require w3m-img.
\[3\] See this wiki page to find out if your terminal emulator supports `\033[14t` or if you need an additonal dependency.
### Optional dependencies:
#### Song
- Google Play Music Desktop Player: [`gpmdp-remote`](https://github.com/iAndrewT/gpmdp-remote)
- MPD: `mpc`
- CMUS: `cmus`
- MOC: `moc`
- Spotify: `spotify`
- Rhythmbox: `rhythmbox`
- Banshee: `banshee`
- Amarok: `amarok`
- Deadbeef: `deadbeef`
#### Desktop Environment and Window Manager
- Desktop Environment and Window Manager: `xprop` \[1\]
\[1\] See **[#79](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/issues/79)** about why this is now a required dependency.
#### Wallpaper
**Linux, BSD and Solaris**
- Wallpaper: `feh`, `nitrogen` or `gsettings`
**Windows and macOS**
- No additional dependencies needed.
#### Resolution
**Linux, BSD and Solaris**
- Resolution: `xorg-xrandr` or `xorg-xdpyinfo` \[1\]
**macOS**
- Resolution (quicker): `screenresolution` \[2\]
\[1\] Xrandr is prefered over xdpyinfo as Xrandr supports multi monitor and refresh rate display in the<br \>
output.
\[2\] `screenresolution` is installed for you when using homebrew.
#### Screenshot
- Screenshot: `scrot` \[1\]
\[1\] 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.
#### GPU
**BSD and Solaris**
- GPU: `glxinfo`
- Not required on FreeBSD.
#### 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`
#### Android
- `bash`
- `busybox`
Note: I recommend installing `termux` from the Play Store or F-Droid. Termux provides you with a fully working Linux environment, doesn't require root acess and includes all dependencies.

<!-- Post Install {{{ -->
## 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:
```sh
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 {{{ -->
## 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 {{{ -->
## 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.
