rsfetch

extremely fast, simple and lightweight fetch program

Written in rust, fast and simple fetch program for UNIX based systems, configurable through config.rs at compile time. Made for learning purposes.

Why use rsfetch?

I created it to be as fast and low resource as possible, results can be seen in comparison part.

Requirements

• /etc/os-release
• rust compiler
• Nerd Fonts
