Documentation

gitfetch-rs

A blazing-fast Rust port of gitfetch - a neofetch-style CLI tool for displaying git provider statistics.

Features

  • 🚀 Multi-Provider Support: GitHub, GitLab, Gitea/Forgejo, Sourcehut
  • 📊 Contribution Graphs: Visualize your coding activity
  • 🎨 Customizable Output: Multiple layout modes and visual options
  • ⚡ Fast & Efficient: Written in Rust with SQLite caching
  • 🔒 Privacy-First: Uses official CLI tools (gh, glab) for authentication

Installation

# From crates.io (recommended)
cargo install gitfetch-rs

# Or build from source
git clone https://github.com/AbletonPilot/gitfetch-rs
cd gitfetch-rs
cargo build --release

Requirements

Usage

# Show your GitHub stats
gitfetch-rs

# Show stats for a specific user
gitfetch-rs octocat

# Change git provider
gitfetch-rs --change-provider

# Show only contribution graph
gitfetch-rs --graph-only

# Custom width and box character
gitfetch-rs --width 26 --custom-box "█"

Options

General

  • --version - Show version information
  • --no-cache - Bypass cache and fetch fresh data
  • --clear-cache - Clear the cache and exit
  • --change-provider - Change the configured git provider

Visual Customization

  • --graph-only - Show only the contribution graph
  • --graph-timeline - Show git timeline graph (git log --graph style)
  • --width <N> - Custom width for contribution graph (default: 52 weeks)
  • --height <N> - Custom height for contribution graph (default: 7 days, max: 7)
  • --custom-box <CHAR> - Custom character for contribution blocks
  • --no-date - Hide month/date labels

Display Control

  • --no-grid - Hide contribution grid/graph
  • --no-account - Hide account information
  • --no-achievements - Hide achievements section
  • --no-languages - Hide language statistics
  • --no-issues - Hide issues section
  • --no-pr - Hide pull requests section

Layout

  • --spaced - Use spaced layout (custom box character + space, Kusa-style)
  • --not-spaced - Use compact layout (background-colored blocks, default)

Simulation

  • --text <TEXT> - Simulate contribution graph with text (A-Z and space only)
  • --shape <SHAPE> - Simulate contribution graph with predefined shapes (heart, octocat, etc.)

Local Analysis

  • --local - Analyze local git repository (requires .git folder)

Examples

# Minimal graph (half year, 3 rows)
gitfetch-rs --graph-only --width 26 --height 3 --no-date

# Spaced layout (Kusa-style)
gitfetch-rs --spaced --custom-box "█"

# Compact layout (background colors, default)
gitfetch-rs --not-spaced --width 52

# Text simulation
gitfetch-rs --text "RUST"
gitfetch-rs --text "HELLO WORLD" --spaced

# Shape simulation
gitfetch-rs --shape heart
gitfetch-rs --shape octocat --custom-box "●"

# Local repository analysis
gitfetch-rs --local
gitfetch-rs --local --graph-only --no-date

# Hide specific sections
gitfetch-rs --no-achievements --no-languages

# Custom appearance
gitfetch-rs --custom-box "●" --no-date

# Full width graph
gitfetch-rs --width 52

Configuration

Configuration is automatically stored in platform-specific directories:

  • Linux: ~/.config/gitfetch/config.toml
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/gitfetch/config.toml
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\gitfetch\config.toml

Cache database is stored in:

  • Linux: ~/.local/share/gitfetch/cache.db
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/gitfetch/cache.db
  • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\gitfetch\cache.db
