Description ๐Ÿ“–

nitch is a small and incredibly fast system fetch written fully in nim๐Ÿ‘‘ without any dependencies, on my pc it executes in around 1.70 miliseconds.

The source code of nitch is highly documented and I hope it will act as a learning resource for nim and linux systems architecture

If anything in the source code is unclear or is lacking in its explanation, open an issue. Sometimes you get too close to something and you fail to see the "bigger picture"!

btw written in nim๐Ÿ‘‘

why nim๐Ÿ‘‘? because it's fast and simple


Installation โ˜๏ธ

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unxsh/nitch/main/setup.sh && sh setup.sh

Usage ๐Ÿชจ

nitch

flags:

 -f --fetch   | return fetch about system
 -h --help    | return help message
 -v --version | return version of program

Configuration โš™๏ธ

nitch is configured by changing the source code

src/funcs/drawing.nim - config file

Building ๐Ÿ“ฆ

0) install nim

1) clone repo

git clone https://github.com/unxsh/nitch.git

2) change dir to nitch

cd nitch/

3) build program with nimble

nimble build

After that you will get a ready-made binary file in the root directory of the project.
