**fetch** is a suckless-style alternative to neofetch in one C file,
inspired by macchina and hfetch. Feel free to modify it.

## Configuration

Like suckless tools, it is configured by editing `config.h` and recompiling.
Each line is a label and the shell command that produces its value:

```
const char *const show[][3] = {
        { "host", "echo ${USER}@$(hostname)" },
        { "kernel", KERNEL },
        { "distro", DISTRO },
        { "uptime", UPTIME },
        { "packages", PACKAGES },
        { "cpu", CPU },
        { "gpu", GPU },
        ...
};
```

The package count uses `pacman -Q` by default.

## Installation

```
$ git clone https://github.com/hugoocoto/fetch
$ cd fetch
$ make
```

It is also available through the [pm user repository](pm-user-repository.md).
