What is Neofetch?
Neofetch is an open source command-line system information and logo printing tool for Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like operating systems. It gathers information about your system such as the operating system, hostname, kernel version, CPU model and speed, amount of RAM and disk space, graphics card model, screen resolution, and more. This information is formatted into an ASCII logo alongside your operating system's logo and displayed in the terminal.
Some key features of Neofetch include:
- Highly customizable - you can choose what information to display, customize logos and ASCII art, set a color scheme, etc.
- Lightweight and fast
- Supports nearly 150 operating system logos out of the box
- Easy installation - just a single script, no dependencies required
- Extensive operating system support including Linux, macOS, iOS, BSDs, Solaris, Android, Haiku, and Windows (Cygwin and WSL)
Neofetch is highly popular among Linux and macOS users who want to display stylish system information in their terminal emulator alongside an artistic logo. It's often used to show off terminal customizations in screenshots and videos. The extensive customizability via command flags or a config file allows you to set up Neofetch precisely how you want.
