afetch is written in C99, meaning that it should be able to be compiled with almost all C compilers. As well as being written in a very fast language, it's multithreaded. This makes it even faster, as well as distinguishing it from similar programs written is POSIX sh. The only limitations it has is the speed of your distros package manager!
Requirements
/etc/os-release
file for package count on Linux- A C compiler
- A compatible C standard library implementation
- pthreads
Package count supported
- Alpine
- Arch
- Arch7
- ArchBang
- Arco
- Artix
- CelOS
- Debian
- Deepin
- Elementary OS
- EndeavourOS
- Fedora (slow due to package manager)
- FreeBSD
- Gentoo
- MacOS (homebrew)
- Manjaro
- Mint
- NetBSD
- NixOS
- OpenBSD
- OpenSUSE Leap (slow due to package manager)
- OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (slow due to package manager)
- Parabola
- Pop!_OS
- postmarketOS
- Slackware
- Solus
- Ubuntu
- Void
- Zorin
afetch is made to be run anywhere, but if your operating system isn't in the list above then open an issue! If on Linux please show the output of cat /etc/os-release
, or if you're using something else then uname -s
.
Configuration options
- Custom text for each seperate row of info
- Force upper/lowercase text
- Option to print colour blocks, and choose a character for the block
- More to be implemented soon
To do
- Make README.md more dynamic (adapt to different screen sizes)
- Add links to information about distros in README.md
- Find more efficient ways to do certain things, like the
/etc/os-release
part on Linux. - Create CONFIG.md file with in depth guide to customisation
Thanks
