SuperB Fetch (a.k.a bfetch
) is a SuperB general-purpose fetch displayer written in portable sh
that take user commands output and change how it display dynamic with the terminal size.
As a Linux ricer, I kile to make Neofetch automatically run when the terminal start. This was fine until I switched to using the tiled window manager, the terminal is often too small leading the fetch get crop off, even with Pfetch, the poblem could appear. This has led me to create SuperB Fetch, a dynamic fetching tool with an customization spirit from Ufetch.
