Why I made it: I used to use neofetch, ufetch, and aurafetch a lot, but then that got me thinking. I have the skill to make my own script, so why not? At first, it was just a simple BASH script. Then I decided I wanted to try my hand at Rust, as it has interested me for a while. So... here's the end result. I am open to any criticisms you have. After all, I wish to make this better (as well as improve my Rust skills).

1. The packages section only works for Arch (or Arch-based) distros as it uses pacman.

2. If you plan to help, note that indentation is done with 4 spaces. It used to be tabs, but I have been told that spaces are the preferred indentation in the Rust community. Any new changes should be recorded in CHANGELOG.md.

• mpd + mpc for the music info. (Completely optional, as music info is turned off by default.)

I have prebuilt binaries in the releases tab for people who don't want to build from source, otherwise you can do this.

1. Install rust and cargo.
2. Clone the repository.
3. cd fetch; make; sudo make install

Uninstall with sudo make uninstall.

Optionally, if you use a Arch-based distro, you can use either of the following AUR packages:

• rsfetch-git (This requires Rust as it builds from source.)
• rsfetch-bin (This grabs the latest binary from releases.)

Default Fetch

My Preference of Options + Execution Time

You can't see what options I choose because I aliased rsfetch to fetch. Here is the actual command ran.

rsfetch -C 0 -h false -i false -l false -u false

And yes, you saw right. Execution time was 0.012s! Crazy fast.
