Include a flag to replace the "circle" with a glyph from Nerd Fonts

[hasecilu]

Summary 💡

Currently in the languages section a circle using the "chip" color is printed along the programming language name, it would be more attractive to the eye to have the colored logo of the programming language instead of the circle.

Motivation 🔦

In the Nerd Fonts project there are a lot of glyphs directly related to a lot of programming languages (see non extensive list below, to be updated later).

If a new entry in the config file is added, users could include the glyph if it exists and onefetch could replace the circle with that.

            let circle = "\u{25CF}".color(*circle_color);

    glyph: "\uf34b" # 

Example:

onefetch --icons

So you're proposing using the main language's logo as the "chip" for each language? TBH If we supported something like this I'd want to go a step further and show each language's nerdfont icon.

[hasecilu]

Yes, I mean to assign their corresponding icons to each language, in the picture I just used the Rust icon because it was an easy change, I'm not really good at rust so I don't know how to implement the proposed change.

I'm not really good at rust so I don't know how to implement the proposed change.

No problem. Let's give this issue some time for discussion before you make any contributions . In case we close this as "not planned" I wouldn't want you to do work unnecessarily. But even just updating languages.yaml would be a huge help 🙂
