pfetch 0.1.1

About

If you are familiar with the pfetch system information tool by dylanaraps, this does the exact same thing, but with an about 10x faster runtime. pfetch is simple by design with some (but not many) configuration options and a minimalistic look.

Status

This project is still in early development, expect things to not work properly. Please open issues for bugs you are encountering.

Installation

Cargo

cargo install pfetch

AUR

Install the pfetch-rs AUR package

Performance

Benchmarks performed on an AMD Ryzen 5 3600. Execution time is measured using hyperfine with -w 4 -m 500 -N flags

Note: This is with pacman being the only installed package manager. Especially having nix installed will have a big impact on performance, as querying installed nix packages is very costly.

Configuration

Like the original pfetch, pfetch-rs is configured through environment variables. Your existing config will probably still work, the only difference is how padding is configured.

If you want to display a custom logo, you will have to download the source code, make your changes to ./pfetch-extractor/logos.sh and build the binary with cargo b --release.
