📢 Check out DIYfetch, the ultimate fetch tool template. It's the successor to SuperB Fetch!
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.
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.
| Neofetch | Pfetch | |
|---|---|---|
| Without SuperB Fetch |  |
 |
| With SuperB Fetch |  |
 |
- Super minimum with exactly 256 lines of
shand no dependencies (if you don't countsh). - Super flexible:
- Align/shift/change mode contents based on terminal size.
- Hide some elements if terminal is too small.
- Super customizable:
- SuperB Fetch can take commands output and use it. By so, SuperB Fetch can display anything you want, however you want.
- And even more config options
- Have two mode:
| Paper mode | Classic mode |
|---|---|
 |
 |
- Unix commands to process
