GitHub - Fredd-30/fastfetch: Like neofetch, but much faster because written in C.

Fastfetch is a neofetch-like tool for fetching system information and displaying them in a pretty way. It is written mainly in C, with performance and customizability in mind. Currently, Linux, Android, FreeBSD, MacOS and Windows 7+ are supported.

With customization and speed being two competing goals, this project actually builds two executables:

Currently, the performance difference is measurable, but too small to be recognizable by humans. But with more options planned, the leap will get bigger over time and on slow machines this might actually make a difference.

There are some premade config files in presets, including the ones used for the screenshots above. You can load them using --load-config <filename>. They may also serve as a good example for format arguments.

Logos can be heavily customized too; see the logo documentation for more information.

A new, structure based, and user-friendly config file format was introduced in v2.0.0. This format is based on JSONC. See more details in Wiki

Fastfetch dynamically loads needed libraries if they are available. On Linux, its only hard dependencies are libc (any implementation of the c standard library), libdl, libm and libpthread (if built with multithreading support). They are all shipped with glibc, which is already installed on most Linux distributions.

For the image logo, iTerm with iterm image protocol should work. Apple Terminal is not supported.

For the image logo, WezTerm with iterm image protocol is known to work, surprisingly.

All categories not listed here should work without needing a specific implementation.

fastfetch uses cmake for building. pkg-config is recommended for better library detection. The simplest steps to build the fastfetch and flashfetch binaries are:

If the build process fails to find the headers for a library listed in dependencies, fastfetch will simply build without support for that specific feature. This means, it won't look for it at runtime and just act like it isn't available.

Currently GCC or clang is required (MSVC is not supported). MSYS2 with CLANG64 subsystem (or CLANGARM64 if needed) is suggested (and tested) to build fastfetch. If you need Windows 7 / 8.x support, using MINGW64 is suggested.
