bfetch-0.1.1 is not a library.

bfetch

A small, fast sysfetch for Linux, macOS, Termux, and Proxmox. It puts the useful facts beside the right bit of distro ASCII and otherwise stays out of the way.

bfetch is a single Rust binary with no crate dependencies. It reads the system directly, so it is handy on lean installs and machines where a fetch command should just be a fetch command.

What it shows

Hostname, OS, kernel, device, uptime, locale, installed packages, shell, init, desktop environment, window manager, displays, CPU, GPUs, memory, root-disk usage, and virtualization/container details when they can be detected.

It knows ASCII for Arch-family distros, Artix, Bedrock, Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, Alpine, NixOS, openSUSE, Void, macOS, Android/Termux, and Proxmox. Other systems get good old Tux.

Build and run

Via Crates.io:

cargo install bfetch

Manually:

# Clone the repo and cd into it
git clone https://github.com/bulletic/bfetch.git && cd bfetch

# Compile it and add to your PATH
cargo install --path .

Use it your way

# Plain, no-colour output
bfetch --grey

# Keep the details; lose the box
bfetch --no-box

# Pick an accent colour (hex without #)
bfetch --color:5f5f5f

# Pipe system facts somewhere useful
bfetch --json

Run bfetch --help for the complete flag list.

Persistent tweaks

Settings live at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bfetch/config, or ~/.config/bfetch/config when XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set. You do not need to edit it by hand:

# Hide a line
bfetch --set Kernel:false

# Replace an existing value with your own text
bfetch --set "Device:shitbox"

# Choose the artwork instead of letting bfetch detect it
bfetch --set ascii:debian

# Line up values in the information panel
bfetch --set spacing:aligned

# Make flags the default(e.g. runs flags without you typing them)
bfetch --set "default:--no-box --grey"

# Start over (asks before removing the config)
bfetch --set reset

Any displayed label can be hidden with :false or overridden with a value. The available labels are printed if you try an unknown one.
