Why
I felt sad leaving this project unfinished, as it is the one that taught me the most.
My commitment
I am currently busy with university, so I cannot guarantee I will be fully active. I may not be able to spend much time on this, and there may be periods where I am unavailable.
However, please do not be afraid to contribute. I will eventually reply to you, just not as fast as before.

From Pacstall
pacstall -I uwufetch
From source
Build requisites:
- Make
- A C compiler
- A iOS patched SDK (if you build UwUfetch under iOS device)
To install UwUfetch from the source, type these commands in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/TheDarkBug/uwufetch.git
cd uwufetch
make build # add "CFLAGS+=-D__IPHONE__" if you are building for iOS
sudo make install
To uninstall:
cd uwufetch
sudo make uninstall
Available Make targets
make build # builds uwufetch and libfetch
make lib # builds only libfetch
make debug # use for debug
make install # installs uwufetch (needs root permissons)
make uninstall # uninstalls uwufetch (needs root permissons)
make clean # removes all build output
make man # compiles man page
make man_debug # compiles man page and shows 'man' output
Images and copyright info
How to use images
Notice: images are currently disabled under iOS due to lack of a one command in UwUfetch code
First of all, you will need viu, which you can install by following the guide.
viu supports kitty and iTerm’s image protocols.
If not supported by the current terminal, viu uses the fallback Unicode half-block mode (images will look “blocky”), that is the case in many terminal emulators (gnome-terminal, Konsole, etc.). See also: viu’s README.
LibFetch
How to use
The first thing needed is to compile the library (same instructions as the simple binary).
Now you can use the library just as in the example:
superfetch.c
#include <fetch.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("%s\n", get_info().cpu_model);
}
And then compile and run with
$ gcc superfetch.c -lfetch -o superfetch
$ ./superfetch
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz
Issues
MOWODEL showing To Be Filled By O.E.M.
This happens when your computer hasn’t had any OEM info filled in (habitually by the manufacturer).
While you could fill it yourself with your own custom info too, you can also disable the part of uwufetch which display this line.
Edit [.config/uwufetch/config] and add host=false.
