Simply, it lets you display detailed information about your system in the terminal, it also comes with a ASCII logo for the detected Linux distribution.\r\n\r\nThis doesn't work on Windows natively and this project is my attempt to provide a solution that does not require obtaining a linux environment on windows.\r\n\r\n\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch\"\u003e The original can be found in KittyKatt's repository.\u003c/a\u003e\r\n\r\n#### How is it different? \u003chr\u003e\r\nThe original screenfetch requires a system that supports bash so it cannot be used on windows natively! This is a small scale project that simply \"mimics\" the behaviour of screenFetch in windows. \r\n\r\n**Windows screenFetch is a Powershell script, not a Bash program**. Therefore, a linux-like environment such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.cygwin.com/\"\u003e Cygwin\u003c/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys\"\u003eMinGW\u003c/a\u003e is ***not required***. This can be run natively on windows as a Powershell script within a Powershell or command prompt console.\r\n\r\n*Since this tool is only intended to run within a windows environment, no flags to invoke any Linux distribution ASCII art is supported.*\r\n\r\n#### Installation \u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\nWindows screenFetch is available and managed through \u003ca href=\"https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/windows-screenfetch\"\u003ePowershell Gallery\u003c/a\u003e. \r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003ePowershell\u003c/b\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb=\u003eNote\u003c/b\u003e that if you were using windows-screenfetch before it was uploaded to Powershell Gallery, you will need to delete the local instance and associated environment variables before running the following install.\r\n\r\n    PS\u003e Install-Module -Name windows-screenfetch\r\n\r\nSimply run the \u003ccode\u003eScreenfetch\u003c/code\u003e command after installing the module and you should be good to go.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003e~~Command Prompt~~\u003c/b\u003e\r\n\r\nNo longer supported\r\n\r\n#### Usage Parameters \u003chr\u003e\r\n- The `-distro` argument allows you to specify the ASCII logo shown\r\n- Possible alternatives currently is the apple logo, please see `AsciiArtGenerator` for possible extensions\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cimg src=\"screenshots/mac.png\"\u003e\r\n\r\n#### Troubleshooting \u003chr\u003e\r\nIf you have followed the installation steps but you're getting the following error:\r\n\r\n```\r\nThe file C:\\\u003cyourpath\u003e\\screenfetch.ps1 is not digitally signed. \r\nThe script will not execute on the system.\r\n```\r\n\r\nA common fix is to run the powershell command `Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted` in a shell with administrative privileges.\r\n\r\n\r\n#### Contact Me \u003chr\u003e\r\nBelow are my two most active social portals\r\n\r\n- `julianchow@outlook.com`\r\n- https://twitter.com/JulianChow94\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FJulianChow94%2FWindows-screenFetch","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FJulianChow94%2FWindows-screenFetch","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FJulianChow94%2FWindows-screenFetch/lists"}
