Command Line Arguments

albafetch accepts a few command line arguments, which can be used to override certain values set in the config file.

Please note that a short explanation of what every argument does, including every accepted and default value, can be obtained by running albafetch --help.

Here is a full table of allowed command line arguments. Please note that unrecognized ones will simply be ignored.

Argument	Short Version	Overrides config	Accepted Values	Explanation
--help	-h			Prints a small usage guide and exits
--version	-v			Prints the program version and exists
--debug				Runs a small self-check where all modules are tested
--no-pip				When used with --debug, doesn't check the number of installed python packages
--color	-c	default_color	black red green yellow blue purple cyan gray white	Set the color for some parts
--bold	-b	bold	on off	Toggles whether bold should be used
--logo	-l	logo	alpine android apple arch arch_small artix debian devuan endeavouros fedora gentoo linux linuxmint mageia manjaro neon nixos none parrot pop ubuntu void windows	Lets you pick the logo to use
--align	-a	align_infos	on off	Toggles whether all infos should be left-aligned
--ascii		ascii_art	path	Changes the logo to a custom ascii art. Is dominated by --logo
--config			path	Lets you specify a custom configuration file
--no-logo				Prevents any logo from being printed but still checks the color
--no-config				Prevents the parsing of any configuration file

You will get an error message when using these options incorrectly, e.g. when using --ascii with no arguments after.

For options that override some config variable, it is highly recommended to check out the corresponding entry in the Configuration page
