Please see this discussion on the current state of screenFetch.
screenFetch is a "Bash Screenshot Information Tool". This handy Bash script can be used to generate one of those nifty terminal theme information + ASCII distribution logos you see in everyone's screenshots nowadays. It will auto-detect your distribution and display an ASCII version of that distribution's logo and some valuable information to the right. There are options to specify no ASCII art, colors, taking a screenshot upon displaying info, and even customizing the screenshot command! This script is very easy to add to and can easily be extended.
Please see Installation.
To run screenFetch, open a terminal of some sort and type in the command screenfetch
or wherever you saved the script to. This will generate an ASCII logo with the
information printed to the side of the logo. There are some options that may be
specified on the command line, and those are shown below or by executing screenfetch -h:
-v Verbose output.
-o 'OPTIONS' Allows for setting script variables on the
command line. Must be in the following format...
'OPTION1="OPTIONARG1";OPTION2="OPTIONARG2"'
-d '+var;-var;var' Allows for setting what information is displayed
on the command line. You can add displays with +var,var. You
can delete displays with -var,var. Setting without + or - will
set display to that explicit combination. Add and delete statements
may be used in conjunction by placing a ; between them as so:
+var,var,var;-var,var.
-n Do not display ASCII distribution logo.
-N Strip all color from output.
-w Wrap long lines.
-t Truncate output based on terminal width (Experimental!).
-p Output in portrait mode, with logo above info.
-s [-u IMGHOST] Using this flag tells the script that you want it
to take a screenshot. Use the -m flag if you would like
to move it to a new location afterwards.
-c string You may change the outputted colors with -c. The format is
as follows: [0-9][0-9],[0-9][0-9]. The first argument controls the
ASCII logo colors and the label colors. The second argument
controls the colors of the information found. One argument may be
used without the other.
-a 'PATH' You can specify a custom ASCII art by passing the path
to a Bash script, defining `startline` and `fulloutput`
variables, and optionally `labelcolor` and `textcolor`.
See the `asciiText` function in the source code for more
information on the variables format.
-S 'COMMAND' Here you can specify a custom screenshot command for
the script to execute. Surrounding quotes are required.
-D 'DISTRO' Here you can specify your distribution for the script
to use. Surrounding quotes are required.
-A 'DISTRO' Here you can specify the distribution art that you want
displayed. This is for when you want your distro
detected but want to display a different logo.
-E Suppress output of errors.
-C Add custom (extra) lines.
For example:
screenfetch -C 'IP WAN=192.168.0.12,IP BRIDGED=10.1.1.10'
... will add two extra lines:
IP WAN: 192.168.0.12
IP BRIDGED: 10.1.1.10
-V, --version Display current script version.
-h, --help Display this help.
