✨ Demo

Ponyfetch provides an aesthetically pleasing, colorful display of important system information, complete with charming ponies.

🔧 Using

ponyfetch [OPTION]

Option	Description	Type	Default	Required?
-c or --color	Defines what color to print pony and titles in	String	blue	No
-p or --pony	Pony to print	String	rainbowdash	No
-h or --help	Help menu in case you don't understand this one			No

🧪 Requirements for install

On Linux (MAC not tested), install net-tools package using

sudo apt-get install net-tools

or

sudo pacman -S net-tools

⚡ Installing

If you don't want to compile this tool by yourself, it's possible to just download current build right here.

If you're installing the binary yourself, the install script is useless for you since the directory paths are completely different, so I'll provide the steps here.

• 🐧 On Linux

1. First, create ponyfetch directory like this:

mkdir /usr/share/ponyfetch && mkdir /usr/share/ponyfetch/ponies

1. Download the ponies from this Github repo amd move them to the ponies directory.
2. Move the binary to /usr/bin and /bin

• 🖥️ On Windows

1. Create ponyfetch directories like this:

md C:\Program Files\Ponyfetch
md C:\Program Files\Ponyfetch\ponies\

2. Download the ponies from this Github repo and move them to the ponies directory.
3. Move the executable to "C:\Program Files\Ponyfetch"
4. Add the directory mentioned in previous step to the path like this:

setx /M path "%path%;C:\Program Files\Ponyfetch"

🔨 Compiling

Make sure you have rust compiler and build tools installed.

I've made it easy for you, just cd into project folder and run this shell script.

• 🐧 On Linux

chmod +x ./install.sh && sudo ./install.sh

• 🖥️ On Windows

./install.bat

• 🍎 On Mac

(WIP) Ponyfetch was never tested on Mac and it's stability can't be guaranteed.

🐎 Adding new ponies

If you wish to add new ponies to the project, please adhere to the following guidelines in order to maintain the project's structural integrity and functionality. The two main distinguishing features of these ponies are their size and style (e.g. Hat or Wings). Refer to the current pony ASCII art to determine the size of your new pony. If your pony is larger than the others, use the format <ponyname>_large. If the size is the same as an existing pony, find a visible difference between your pony and the current one, and name it <ponyname>_<difference>_large. If you are still unsure, please open an issue to discuss it with members of our team. Additionally, after adding a new pony, please ensure to credit the author in the "Sources" section of the README.

🖥️ Modifying & Adding code

Ponyfetch is still under development, so it is likely that there are bugs present. If you encounter one, please open an issue and discuss it with us. Once the discussion is completed, submit a pull request with the proposed changes.
