Purr-fetch

A System fetching tool written in python.

( and now also alternative versions written in rust and C++ by friendly contributors!! )

What is this?: Purr-Fetch is a command-line information tool written in Python, that displays various information about your system! It's main use case is to be used in screenshots so it looks pretty but you may also just use it to get your system information. 👍

How does it work?: It uses python to get information about your system, like for example what shell, distro and kernel version you are using.

NOTE: This project is a work in progress! ⚠️

How to contribute:

Just contribute here by fixing my bad and messy code and explaining what I did wrong. XD OR you may also just add another version of the fetch in an language that is not yet featured Please note that I am a beginner so I may not understand every mistake. 👍
