## About



macchina lets you view system information, like your kernel version, uptime,

memory usage, processor load and much more. _macchina_ is basic by default and

extensible by design.



If you're interested in the library _macchina_ uses to fetch system

information, have a look at [libmacchina]; fetching-related issues

should be filed on that repository.



## Status



_macchina_ is currently in **maintenance mode**, meaning bug fixes and

little optimizations are much more prioritized over the addition of

new features. This is due to the fact that we (the authors) do not

have the time to focus on moving the project forward, or expanding on

what is currently offered while keeping up with the demanding nature

of our lives. _macchina_ will at some point (although I can't say

when) leave this stage and implement all the bells and whistles the

community has been requesting.



We hope you understand our situation and continue to support _macchina_.



## Benchmarks

## Features



### Themes



_macchina_ has a theming system which you can use to customize pretty much any

visual aspect of the program. Themes live **outside** the configuration file,

so you can create a bunch of them and switch between them at any time.



Why are they separate?



- **Modularity** — themes are an engine of their own, and their sole purpose is

  to provide an interface that allows for the modification of _macchina's_

  visual components. It makes sense to separate them from the main

  configuration file.



- **Portability** — sure, the configuration file is shareable, but what if you

  wanted to share the look of _your macchina_ and not its behavior? What if you

  wanted to switch between dozens of themes that you very carefully designed?

  The way we handle customization answers this need.

### Doctor



In the event of fetching failures, which can occur for various reasons, the

`--doctor` flag that can tell you why that might be happening.



## Configuration



See the [configuration wiki page](https://github.com/Macchina-CLI/macchina/wiki/Configuration).



## Customization



Have a look at the [customization wiki page](https://github.com/Macchina-CLI/macchina/wiki/Customization).



## Installation



Check out the [installation wiki page](https://github.com/Macchina-CLI/macchina/wiki/Installation). 

We also provide [prebuilt binaries](https://github.com/grtcdr/macchina/releases) with every release.



## Contributors



_macchina_ like many other open source projects, would not be where it

is right now without the help of its contributors. Whether you've

helped drive it forward by contributing to the codebase, packaged it

so we didn't have to, or recommended it to someone you know — we truly

appreciate your support!
