Fastfetch – neofetch-like tool for fetching system information

Fastfetch is a neofetch-like tool for fetching system information and displaying them in a pretty way.

It is written mainly in C, with performance and customizability in mind. Currently, Linux, Android, FreeBSD, MacOS and Windows 7+ are supported.

This is free and open source software.

With customization and speed being two competing goals, this project actually builds two executables:

• The main one is fastfetch, which can be very greatly configured via flags. These flags can be made persistent by modifying $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fastfetch/config.conf. Use fastfetch --gen-config conf to generate one. To view the available options, run fastfetch --help.
• The second executable is called flashfetch, which is configured at compile time to eliminate any possible overhead. Configuration of it can be very easily done in src/flashfetch.c.

Currently, the performance difference is measurable, but too small to be recognizable by humans. But with more options planned, the leap will get bigger over time and on slow machines this might actually make a difference.
