Why

I felt sad leaving this project unfinished, as it is the one that taught me the most.

My commitment

I am currently busy with university, so I cannot guarantee I will be fully active. I may not be able to spend much time on this, and there may be periods where I am unavailable.

However, please do not be afraid to contribute. I will eventually reply to you, just not as fast as before.

Building and installation

Requisites

freecolor to get ram usage on FreeBSD.
musl libc if you are on a non-gnu system (such as alpine linux)
xwininfo to get screen resolution.
viu (optional) to use images instead of ascii art (see How to use images below).
lshw (optional) for better accuracy on GPU info.

Via package manager

Arch (Official Repos)

From the AUR

From Pacstall

pacstall -I uwufetch

From source

Build requisites:

Make
A C compiler
- A iOS patched SDK (if you build UwUfetch under iOS device)

To install UwUfetch from the source, type these commands in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/TheDarkBug/uwufetch.git
cd uwufetch
make build # add "CFLAGS+=-D__IPHONE__" if you are building for iOS
sudo make install

To uninstall:

cd uwufetch
sudo make uninstall

Available Make targets

make build              # builds uwufetch and libfetch
make lib                # builds only libfetch
make debug              # use for debug
make install            # installs uwufetch (needs root permissons)
make uninstall          # uninstalls uwufetch (needs root permissons)
make clean              # removes all build output
make man                # compiles man page
make man_debug          # compiles man page and shows 'man' output

Images and copyright info

How to use images

Notice: images are currently disabled under iOS due to lack of a one command in UwUfetch code

First of all, you will need viu, which you can install by following the guide.

viu supports kitty and iTerm‘s image protocols. If not supported by the current terminal, viu uses the fallback Unicode half-block mode (images will look “blocky”), that is the case in many terminal emulators (gnome-terminal, Konsole, etc.). See also: viu’s README.

LibFetch

How to use

The first thing needed is to compile the library (same instructions as the simple binary). Now you can use the library just as in the example:

`superfetch.c`

#include <fetch.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("%s\n", get_info().cpu_model);
}

And then compile and run with

$ gcc superfetch.c -lfetch -o superfetch
$ ./superfetch

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz

Issues

`MOWODEL` showing `To Be Filled By O.E.M.`

This happens when your computer hasn’t had any OEM info filled in (habitually by the manufacturer). While you could fill it yourself with your own custom info too, you can also disable the part of uwufetch which display this line. Edit [.config/uwufetch/config] and add host=false.
