# Neofetch
[![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/dylanaraps/fetch.svg)](https://gitter.im/dylanaraps/fetch?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge)
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!

<!-- Features {{{ -->
## Features
- Supports **Linux**, **Mac OS X**, **BSD (FreeBSD, OpenBSD & NetBSD)** and **Windows** (Cygwin)
- Display a **full color image**, a file containing **ascii art** or your **distro's logo** in ascii next to the info.
- The script is **fast**. We use bash builtins wherever possible and only spawn external processes when necessary.
- Take a screenshot of your desktop on script finish.
- Customize **which** info is displayed, **where** it's displayed and **when** it's displayed.
- See this **[wiki page](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/wiki/Customizing-Info)**

<!-- Dependences {{{ -->
## Dependencies
### Required dependencies:
- `Bash 3.0+`
- `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.

<!-- Installation {{{ -->
## Installation
Those using a git version of neofetch should check this page after<br \>
updating, this page lists any breaking changes that were made and<br \>
how you can workaround them.
https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/wiki/Following-HEAD
### Arch
1. Install **[neofetch-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/neofetch-git/)** from the aur.
### Gentoo / Funtoo
1. Add the 3rd party repo
- `layman -o https://gist.githubusercontent.com/z1lt0id/24d45b15800b98975260/raw/2fdf6645cdc3c1ca0b0af83a7bf8f86598e386ae/fs0ciety.xml -f -a fs0ciety`
2. Sync the repos
- `layman -S`
3. To enable w3m and scrot support, enable the appropriate flags.
- `echo "x11-apps/neofetch" >> /etc/portage/package.use`
4. Install the package
- `emerge -a x11-apps/neofetch`
### CRUX
1. Install git and the git ports(8) driver
- `sudo prt-get depinst git`
2. Add the 3rd party repo
- `sudo wget -O /etc/ports/arcetera.git https://git.io/vgNJ6`
3. Sync the repos

### Debian / Ubuntu
1. Add the 3rd party repo
- `echo "deb http://dl.bintray.com/dawidd6/neofetch jessie main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list`
2. If you don't have curl, install it with this command
- `sudo apt-get install curl`
3. Add public key and update your repos
- `curl -L https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=bintray -o Release-neofetch.key && sudo apt-key add Release-neofetch.key && rm Release-neofetch.key && sudo apt-get update`
4. Install the package
- `sudo apt-get install neofetch`
### Others
1. Download the latest source at https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch
2. Run `make install` inside the script directory to install the script.
- **El Capitan**: `PREFIX=/usr/local make install`
**NOTE:** Neofetch can be uninstalled easily using `make uninstall`.
**NOTE:** Neofetch can also be run from any directory like a normal script,<br \>
you'll just be missing the ascii distro logos and automatic config file creation.
<!-- }}} -->
<!-- Post Install {{{ -->
## Post Install
#### Using the config file
Neofetch will by default create a config file at `$HOME/.config/neofetch/config` and this file<br \>
contains all of the script's options/settings. The config file allows you to keep your<br \>
customizations between script versions and allows you to easily share your customizations<br \>
with other people.
You can launch the script without a config file by using the flag `--config none` and you can<br \>
specify a custom config location using `--config path/to/config`.
#### Setting the prompt height
If your shell prompt's height is greater than 1 line high, you'll need to change a config<br \>
option to avoid issues with the top lines in the script output getting cut off. Set the variable<br \>
`$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 {{{ -->
## Frequently Asked Questions
#### How do I enable screenfetch mode?
Launching the script with `--ascii distro` 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
![arch](http://i.imgur.com/uCMjgf6.png)
#### 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 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
```
