Installation

Cargo (recommended)

cargo install rsftch

AUR

With your favourite AUR helper: aura -A rsftch-git yay -S rsftch-git paru -S rsftch-git

Or from AUR source:

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rsftch-git.git
cd rsftch-git
makepkg -si

Git Source

git clone https://github.com/charklie/rsftch.git`
cd rsftch
cargo install --path .

NetBSD

If you're on NetBSD or, any supported pkgsrc platform, a pre-compiled binary is available from the official repositories. To install it, simply run: pkgin install rsftch

Or, if you prefer to build it from source:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/rsftch
make install

Common issues

Running rsftch in terminal doesn't work (command not found)

Solution: (If you installed with cargo) Add ~/.cargo/bin/ to PATH, how varies from shell to shell, here are some popular ones:

Bash / Zsh: echo "PATH=\$PATH:~/.cargo/bin/" >> (.bashrc / .zshrc path)

Fish: set -U fish_user_paths ~/.cargo/bin/ $fish_user_paths

Nushell: let-env PATH = ($env.PATH | prepend $"($env.HOME)/.cargo/bin")

Elvish: set paths = [~/.cargo/bin/ $@paths]

If none of these work, or you are unsure how to do this in your shell, consider moving the binary to /usr/bin, example command: sudo mv ~/.cargo/bin/rsftch /usr/bin

Usage

Usage: rsftch [OPTION...] [OVERRIDE] [MARGIN]

  -h, --help, --usage   Bring up this menu
  --no-color, --no-formatting
  -nc, -nf              Remove icons, colors and such.
  -o, --override        Override distribution, changes ASCII.
  -m, --margin          Add margin to the info sections, default 1.

Time comparison

• Rsftch: 35.21 milliseconds
• Neofetch: 284.03 milliseconds
• Screeenfetch: 832.59 milliseconds
• Hyfetch: 1.82 seconds (💀)

Compatability

Currently Rsftch only works on GNU/Linux, (most) BSD distributions and (probably) Mac OS.

Note

(If) You're wondering why I didn't use clap for command-line argument parsing, I've personally found it slow, and if I do get it to be somewhat fast, its too easy and first rsftch was meant to be a project for me to learn rust so I tried to complicate (some) things and making them in pure rust instead of using a crate to do it for me.

Todo

• Add more distros
• Add more info (resolution)
• Add more info (packages)
• Rewrite memory function to rid of libmacchina dep.
• Add -c1, -c2, -c3 options to change colors of sections
• Optimize packages function
