[Idea] Fast way to run NeoFetch one time only (without downloading or installing it)

HGStyle opened this issue · comments

Hi, I would like to make it easy to run the software just one time easily in one command line.
I set up these two commands, depending on if you're using/having installed wget or curl (you still need bash to run neofetch):

  • cURL version (shorter): curl -Ls is.gd/neofetch|bash
  • WGet version (longer): wget -qO/dev/stdout is.gd/neofetch|bash
    If some people have ideas on how to shorten this even more, leave a comment.
    NOTE: You can add HTTPS or HTTP scheme to the URL, I'm not doing this because the softwares can guess which one to use automatically.
    This may be added to the docs, I think this could be usefull in many cases such as when you install a new OS and you want to know its specs very quickly and only for one time. Annother use case is in tutorials: they can be used just to show the specs to the reader/viewer. This script doesn't however changes anything to the original script: the URL is a shortened URL which redirects to the "neofetch" shell file in the main branch of this repo (you can check yourself, also I'm not owning this URL shortener). This means that any file created or edited by the software will stay on the computer, so it leaves traces. But I don't think most people really care about that.
