# oxidefetch
|
|
Fully cross platform Neofetch clone written in Rust. Up to 25 times faster than Neofetch!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Why Oxidefetch?
|
|
Neofetch, being a BASH script, has a few downsides in my opinion.
|
|
1: It's slow.
|
|
2: It only works on platforms which have the BASH shell.
|
|
3: It's kinda big, and I like having more compact info.
|
|
As such, I wrote OxideFetch. How cool is that? It displays your information in a manner that's compact, and BLAZINGLY fast.
|
|
I've measured speeds of up to 25 times faster than normal Neofetch on WSL2.
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies (Build/Install)
|
|
To build Oxidefetch, you need Cargo. You can use Cargo to automatically build and install it like so:
|
|
```cargo install --git https://github.com/shibedrill/oxidefetch```.
|
|
From there, it *should* be in your PATH. If not, add ```~/.cargo/bin``` to your PATH. If you do not already have Cargo installed
|
|
on your system, you can do so by installing Rustup- either via the [instructions on their website](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html "instructions on their website") or via your system package manager.
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies (Runtime)
|
|
There's only a couple runtime dependencies for this project.
|
|
1: ```bash``` shell installed for GPU detection on Linux/Unix/mac.
|
|
2: ```lspci``` installed for GPU detection on Linux/Unix/mac.
|
|
(If either of these above dependencies are absent, chances are the GPU field will simply not show up. It won't crash or anything.
|
|
GPU detection runs on Windows without any dependencies.)
|
|
3: Nerd fonts symbols are used in the output. Install a patched font on your system, or patch an already installed font.
|
|
|
|
### How you can help with the project
|
|
I need to verify the output of the OS information detection libraries I'm pulling in. To do this, I need the help of people
|
|
with varying types of systems. I've tested Arch Linux and Windows 10, but nothing else. To help, you can kindly clone this
|
|
repo, and inside the folder, run ```cargo test -- --nocapture```, and send the resultant ```test_output.txt``` file to my
|
|
noreply email address, or directly to me on Discord at ```Shibe Drill#9730```. This program does NOT collect information
|
|
regarding your real name, IP, location, etc. You can look at the file it generates to be sure- it's all plaintext, babey.
