neofetch with pride flags <3
This repo also serves as an updated version of the original neofetch since the upstream dylanaraps/neofetch isn't maintained anymore and has been archived. If you only want to use the updated neofetch without pride flags, you can use the neofetch script from this repo. To prevent command name conflict, I call it neowofetch :)
pip install -U hyfetch, pipx install hyfetch, or uv tool install hyfetch) then run neowofetchnpx neowofetchP="$HOME/.local/bin/neowofetch" && curl -L nf.hydev.org -o "$P" && chmod +x "$P"bash <(curl -sL nf.hydev.org)Even though hyfetch has been rewritten in Rust since 2.0.0, we also published PyPI packages with prebuilt rust binaries to allow seamless transition from the Python version. You can install the rust binaries using pip:
pip install wheel
pip install -U hyfetch
For isolated command installs, you can use pipx or uv:
pipx install hyfetch
uv tool install hyfetch
If a rust binary is not available for your platform (e.g. riscv64), it will automatically fall back to the v1.99.0 Python version.
Currently, these distributions have existing packages for HyFetch:
lure in hyfetch (Thanks to @Elara6331)sudo pacman -S hyfetch (Thanks to @Aleksana and @Antiz96)sudo dnf install hyfetch (packaged by @topazus)nix-env -i hyfetch (Thanks to @YisuiDenghua)nix profile install nixpkgs#hyfetchguix install hyfetch (Thanks to @WammKD)sbopkg -b hyfetch Slackbuild (Thanks to @bittin , willysr (https://github.com/willysr), jebrhansen and Urchlay and new maintainer MDKDIO)brew install hyfetch (Thanks to @catumin and @osalbahr)zypper in python311-hyfetch (Thanks to @catumin)emerge --ask app-misc/hyfetch (Thanks to @catumin)apt install hyfetch (for Debian flavor >= Trixie, Ubuntu flavor >= Noble) (Thanks to @catumin)
Since hyfetch has been rewritten in Rust since 2.0.0, you can now install it using Cargo:
cargo install hyfetch
[!WARNING] If you install using Cargo, you would need to manually install dependencies like fastfetch if you want to use it as the backend, and Git Bash if you're on Windows.
The PyPI package has all the dependencies bundled, so it's recommended to use that instead.
When you run hyfetch for the first time, it will prompt you to choose a color system and a preset. Just follow the prompt, and everything should work (hopefully). If something doesn't work, feel free to submit an issue!
If you want to use the updated neofetch without LGBTQ flags, check out this section
A: Use hyfetch -c
A: You can try setting the colors' "lightness" in the configuration menu. The value should be between 0 and 1. For example, if you are using dark theme and the rainbow flag is too dark to display, you can set lightness to 0.7.
Feel free to experiment with it!
A: The core idea behind HyFetch coloring isn't just to make logos look nicer, it's about representation and identity. While it's okay to assess the visual appeal, you also need to understand that the LGBTQ+ flag colors serves a much deeper purpose than just aesthetics.
For many in the LGBTQ+ community, these flags symbolize their identity, struggles, and pride. Integrating these symbols into a showcase of the tech specs they share can provide a sense of empowerment. It's combining their enthusiasm for their favorite distro / hardware with their LGBTQ+ identity.
Also, by including flag coloring along with the updated neofetch, we're also broadcasting a wider message about the importance of inclusivity and representation. It's not just a design choice, it's a statement that promotes awareness and understanding toward the LGBTQ+ community.
hyfetch or neowofetch in my MotD, no art displays. How do I get the art back?A: Most likely, the stdout detection is set to auto and is removing the ascii art and colors. To change this, you can: set args in your hyfetch.json to "--stdout=off", add --stdout=off to the neowofetch command in your motd script, or set the option in $HOME/.config/(neofetch|neowofetch)/config.conf to off.
A: Install Python > 3.7 and Git > 2.42.0 first. Then, either open Git Bash terminal or install a terminal emulator that can display RGB colors (the default Windows cmd.exe cannot, but the new Windows Terminal can). Then, run pip install hyfetch, pipx install hyfetch, or uv tool install hyfetch and run hyfetch.
To make changes to our codebase, you first need to create a fork by clicking the "Fork" button on the top right. Then, you can clone your fork of the source code using git clone https://github.com/{your username}/hyfetch.git.
After making changes to the source code, you can run python -m hyfetch in the root directory of your repo to test out your changes.
If they work correctly, you can commit and push these changes using git command or Github Desktop. Then, you can create a pull request on Github so that it can go into our next release!
You can also install your version locally by running one of these commands in the repo root:
pip install .
pipx install .
uv tool install .
Or install directly from the GitHub source:
pip install git+https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch.git@master
pipx install git+https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch.git@master
uv tool install git+https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch.git@master
Note: You can install the latest nightly version by using:
cargo install --git https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch

A command-line system information tool written in bash 3.2+
Neofetch is a command-line system information tool written in bash 3.2+. Neofetch displays information about your operating system, software and hardware in an aesthetic and visually pleasing way.
The overall purpose of Neofetch is to be used in screen-shots of your system. Neofetch shows the information other people want to see. There are other tools available for proper system statistic/diagnostics.
The information by default is displayed alongside your operating system's logo. You can further configure Neofetch to instead use an image, a custom ASCII file, your wallpaper or nothing at all.
You can further configure Neofetch to display exactly what you want it to. Through the use of command-line flags and the configuration file you can change existing information outputs or add your own custom ones.
Neofetch supports almost 150 different operating systems. From Linux to Windows, all the way to more obscure operating systems like Minix, AIX and Haiku. If your favourite operating system is unsupported: Open up an issue and support will be added.
