## About
[_zeitfetch_](https://crates.io/crates/zeitfetch) is a [neofetch](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch) implementation in Rust aiming to be near instantaneous, with the least amount of dependencies possible.
Considering the shortage of fully cross platform screenfetch solutions (including Windows shells) this crate aims to fill that gap.
It's in early stages at the moment, and support for Windows 10, Windows 11, Mac OS X, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch is implemented for the time being, with more on the way.
If your Linux distribution is not listed/not being actively tested on, most likely it will be missing a dedicated OS logo, so an ASCII rendition of [Tux](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux_(mascot)) will be displayed instead.
## Features
Fully cross platform compatible with Windows, macOS, and most Linux distros.
Customizable output. Choose between:
- full info + logo (default, similar to neofetch)
- no-logo
- logo-only
- minimal
- custom logo (coming soon)
## Installation
### Using Cargo
With **Cargo** installed, run:
```bash
cargo install zeitfetch
```
### Using Homebrew
On macOS, *zeitfetch* can also be installed via **brew**:
```bash
brew tap nidnogg/zeitfetch && brew install zeitfetch
```
## Usage
Just run:
```bash
zeitfetch
```
If you want to customize the output a bit, some options are listed below:
```bash
zeitfetch --no-logo # omits logo
zeitfetch --logo-only # omits sys info text
zeitfetch --minimal # display logo + user prompt vertically
```
If you're unsure of what to use, run:
```bash
zeitfetch --help
# alternatively,
zeitfetch -h
```
## Note for running on terminal boot
Some people like to run fetch programs as soon as any terminal tab is open (e.g: from within `.bashrc`).
For this, within Operating Systems other than macOS, Rust binaries have to be reloaded to the PATH environment variables before running the desired command. When editing out a `.bashrc`, `.zshrc` file or whichever is available, adding the following line **before** _zeitfetch_ will ensure that it works correctly:
```bash
export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
```
## Contribution
If you feel like contributing to _zeitfetch_, feel free to fork it and open up a PR. Any merges will be checked for `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy`.
So, before pushing changes to your branch, make sure you run:
```bash
# For checking formatting
cargo fmt --all --
# For linting
cargo clippy
```
To run the development environment, make sure you have both **Rust** and **Cargo** installed.
After that, in the root directory, run:
```bash
cargo run
```
Current priorities list:
* More distro ASCII Art in hex escape code format;
* Variable color configs for bolded text sections;
* Some refactoring here and there.
