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+`
- Alpine Linux: You also need `ncurses`.
- `xprop` \[1\]
- `procps-ng`
- Not required on OS X
### Optional dependencies:
- Displaying images: `w3m-img` \[2\] \[3\] or `iTerm2` \[4\]
- Thumbnail creation: `imagemagick`
- Displaying song information from Google Play Music Desktop Player: [`gpmdp`](https://github.com/iAndrewT/gpmdp-bash)
##### Linux / BSD
- Wallpaper: `feh`, `nitrogen` or `gsettings`
- Current Song: `mpc`, `cmus`, `moc`, `spotify`, `gpmdc`
- Resolution: `xorg-xrandr` or `xorg-xdpyinfo` \[5\]
- Screenshot: `scrot` \[6\]
##### OSX
- Resolution (quicker): `screenresolution`
\[1\] 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`.
\[5\] Xrandr is prefered over xdpyinfo as Xrandr supports multi monitor and refresh rate display in the<br \>
output.
\[6\] 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.

<!-- 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` 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
```
#### Neofetch doesn't work correctly with ConEmu.
You need to be using the CYGWIN/Msys connector for Neofetch to work seamlessly with ConEmu.
