fetch

This is the home of my fetch script! This script gathers info about your system and prints it to the terminal next to an image of your choice!

Features

Supports Linux, Mac OS X and Windows (Cygwin)!
- If the script isn't working on your system open an issue.
It's Fast
- The script makes heavy use of bash builtins and string manipulation.
Display an image next to the info. (or not)
- The script can use your wallpaper, shuffle through a directory or just display an image.
Highly Customizable
- You can customize almost everything.
  - See Usage below or lines 23-233 in script
Take a screenshot at the end.
- It's disabled by default and you can specify the cmd to use with --scrotcmd cmd at launch or by changing the value of $scrotcmd in the script.
Smart crop (or Waifu crop)
- See https://github.com/dylanaraps/fetch/wiki/What-is-Smart-Crop%3F

Dependencies

These are the script's required dependencies

Bash 4.0+
Text formatting, dynamic image size and padding: tput
Uptime detection: procps or procps-ng

These are the script's optional dependencies:

Displaying Images: w3m
- You may also need w3m-img
Image Cropping: ImageMagick
Display Wallpaper: feh
Current Song: mpc
Resolution Detection: xorg-xdpyinfo
Window manager detection: wmctrl
- This is used as a fallback to parsing .xinitrc and $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP.
Take a screenshot on script finish: scrot
- You can change this to another program with a --scrotcmd and an in script option.

Installation

Arch

Install fetch-git from the aur.

Others

Download the latest source at https://github.com/dylanaraps/fetch
Make the file executable using chmod. chmod +x /path/to/fetch
Move the script to somewhere in your $PATH or just run it from where it is.

Usage

The script now supports dynamic image sizing and padding, it's enabled by default and there's a variable you need to set for it to work correctly.

You can either change the variable $fontwidth inside of the script or launch it with --font_width num.

Once you set the var the script will scale the image and padding to fit your terminal window.

Please report any bugs or issues you're having with this as I can't test with many configurations.

TODO

Here's what's on my todo list

Add Windows resolution detection
Cleanup of info array handling
Imagemagick optimizations
More info outputs. Now that it's easy to customize what's printed and everything is a function we can add optional support for pretty much anything.
- Resolution (Done!)
- GTK themes
- Terminal Font
- GPU
- IP
- etc
