Usage
Configuration
Important
Currently, Zig does not have a built-in library for JSON validation via JSON schema, so it is very important to follow the pattern shown in the default configuration file (config.json) to avoid errors
- Create the config folder
mkdir -p ~/.config/zigfetch- Create the config file
cd ~/.config/zigfetch touch config.json
- Or copy the default config (preferred way)
cp /path/to/zigfetch/config.json ~/.config/zigfetch/config.jsonModules
