📢 Check out DIYfetch, the ultimate fetch tool template. It's the successor to SuperB Fetch!

💡 About

SuperB Fetch (a.k.a bfetch) is a SuperB general-purpose fetch displayer written in portable sh that takes user commands output and dynamically changes how it displays output based on the terminal size.

Note Check how people rice SuperB Fetch at Bfetchporn.

📔 Story

As a Linux ricer, I like to make Neofetch automatically run when the terminal starts. This was fine until I switched to using a tiled window manager, the terminal is often too small leading to the fetch getting cropped off, even with Pfetch, the problem would appear. This has led me to create SuperB Fetch, a dynamic fetching tool with the customization spirit of Ufetch.
