screenFetch - The Bash Screenshot Information Tool
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
What is 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.

|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Download the latest source. Found at http://git.silverirc.com/cgit.cgi/screenfetch-dev.git/plain/screenfetch-dev
|
|
2. In a terminal, make the file executable by doing the following: `chmod +x /path/to/screenfetch/screenfetch-dev`
|
|
3. Then, either keep it there, or move it to somewhere in your $PATH to make it available without having to use the full path to the script.

How to run screenFetch
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
specifiedon the command line, and those are shown below or by executing `screenFetch -h`:
|
|
|
|
-v Verbose output.
|
|
-n Do no display ASCII distribution logo.
|
|
-s Using this flag tells the script that you want it to
|
|
take a screenshot.
|
|
-l Specify that you have a light background. This
|
|
turns all white text into dark gray text (in ascii
|
|
logos and in information output).
|
|
-c '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.
|
|
-V Display current script version.
|
|
-h Display this help.
