pfetch is a pretty system information display tool written entirely in POSIX sh, showing OS, kernel, uptime, packages, memory, and more alongside ASCII art. It is lightweight, dependency-free, and doubles as a documented learning resource for POSIX shell programming.
Use cases
- show system info in my terminal with ascii art
- lightweight neofetch alternative for my linux distro
- display os kernel uptime and memory on login
- fast system fetch tool with no dependencies
- customize terminal system info via environment variables
- learn posix shell scripting from a real tool
When to choose
- you want a minimal, fast system info tool with no dependencies beyond a POSIX shell
- you need support for many operating systems including Linux, BSD, macOS, and Android
- you want readable, well-documented shell source code to learn from
When to avoid
- you need detailed hardware diagnostics or sensor data rather than a summary display
- you want a GUI-based system information utility
- you need actively developed features, as the project is in maintenance mode
