Neofetch is a command-line system information tool that displays information about your operating system, hardware, and software. It is a powerful tool that can be used to quickly and easily get a snapshot of your system's status.

Neofetch is written in Python and is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It is a very popular tool, and there are many different themes and plugins available for it.

Here are some of the things that neofetch can display:

• Your operating system name and version

• Your kernel version

• Your CPU model and speed

• Your RAM usage

• Your GPU model and memory

• Your current shell

• Your current directory

• Your hostname

• Your IP address

• Your timezone

Neofetch is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of tasks. It is a valuable tool for system administrators, developers, and anyone who needs to get quick and easy system information.

Here are some examples of how neofetch can be used:

• To get a quick snapshot of your system's status, you can run the following command:

neofetch

This command will display a basic overview of your system's status.

• To get a more detailed overview of your system's status, you can use the -c option to specify a theme. For example, to use the "ascii" theme, you would run the following command:

neofetch -c ascii

This command will display a more detailed overview of your system's status, using the "ascii" theme.

• To get a list of all the available themes, you can run the following command:

neofetch -l

This command will display a list of all the available themes.

• To get help on using neofetch, you can run the following command:

neofetch -h

This command will display help on using neofetch.

Usage: neofetch func_name --option "value" --option "value"

Neofetch is a CLI system information tool written in BASH. Neofetch
displays information about your system next to an image, your OS logo,
or any ASCII file of your choice.

NOTE: Every launch flag has a config option.

Options:

INFO:
    func_name                   Specify a function name (second part of info() from config) to
                                quickly display only that function's information.

                                Example: neofetch uptime --uptime_shorthand tiny

                                Example: neofetch uptime disk wm memory

                                This can be used in bars and scripts like so:

                                memory="$(neofetch memory)"; memory="${memory##*: }"

                                For multiple outputs at once (each line of info in an array):

                                IFS=$'\n' read -d "" -ra info < <(neofetch memory uptime wm)

                                info=("${info[@]##*: }")

    --disable infoname          Allows you to disable an info line from appearing
                                in the output. 'infoname' is the function name from the
                                'print_info()' function inside the config file.
                                For example: 'info "Memory" memory' would be '--disable memory'

                                NOTE: You can supply multiple args. eg. 'neofetch --disable cpu gpu'
