NEOFETCH(1) User Commands NEOFETCH(1)

Neofetch - A fast, highly customizable system info script

neofetch func_name --option "value" --option "value"

Neofetch is a CLI system information tool written in BASH. Neofetch displays information about your system next to an image, your OS logo, or any ASCII file of your choice.

NOTE: Every launch flag has a config option.

Specify a function name (second part of info() from config) to quickly display only that function's information.
Example: neofetch uptime --uptime_shorthand tiny
Example: neofetch uptime disk wm memory
This can be used in bars and scripts like so:
memory="$(neofetch memory)"; memory="${memory##*: }"
For multiple outputs at once (each line of info in an array):
IFS=$'\n' read -d "" -ra info < <(neofetch memory uptime wm)
info=("${info[@]##*: }")
Allows you to disable an info line from appearing in the output. 'infoname' is the function name from the 'print_info()' function inside the config file. For example: 'info "Memory" memory' would be '--disable memory'
NOTE: You can supply multiple args. eg. 'neofetch --disable cpu gpu'
