PhaseFetch – calculate the current moon phase with artwork

PhaseFetch is a lightweight Bash script that calculates the current moon phase and writes matching artwork to a file for use in terminal environments.

It is designed to integrate with fetch utilities such as FastFetch, giving users a live moon phase display that can refresh automatically in the background, with support for both text-based and image-based output as well as custom artwork modes.

This is free and open source software.
