Onefetch is a command-line utility that displays information about a local Git repository directly in your terminal.
It gives developers a compact overview of a project, combining repository metadata, code statistics, language detection, and an ASCII logo in a fast, configurable display. The tool works offline and is useful for quickly inspecting projects, producing terminal screenshots, or getting a concise snapshot of a repository without opening a browser or external dashboard.
This is free and open source software.

- Supports 100+ programming languages.
- Works completely offline.
- Offers extensive command-line customization for styling and displayed information.
- Can ignore selected files and directories when generating statistics.
