Neofetch is highly customizable through the use of commandline flags or the user config file. There are over 50 config options to mess around with and there's the `print_info()` function and friends which let you add your own custom info.
Neofetch can be used on any OS that has BASH, it's just a matter of adding support. If your OS/Distro isn't in the list below, feel free to open an issue on the repo and I'll gladly add support. Neofetch currently supports `Linux`, `MacOS`, `iOS`, `BSD`, `Solaris`, `Android`, `Haiku OS`, `GNU Hurd` and `*Windows (Cygwin/Windows 10 Linux subsystem)`.

## Issues and Workarounds

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.
