HyFetch
neofetch with pride flags <3
Running Updated Original Neofetch
This repo also serves as an updated version of the original neofetch
since the upstream dylanaraps/neofetch isn't maintained anymore and has been archived. If you only want to use the updated neofetch without pride flags, you can use the neofetch
script from this repo. To prevent command name conflict, I call it neowofetch
:)
- Method 1:
pip install -U hyfetch
then runneowofetch
- Method 2:
npx neowofetch
- Method 3:
P="$HOME/.local/bin/neowofetch" && curl -L nf.hydev.org -o "$P" && chmod +x "$P"
- Method 4: Run without install
bash <(curl -sL nf.hydev.org)

When you run hyfetch
for the first time, it will prompt you to choose a color system and a preset. Just follow the prompt, and everything should work (hopefully). If something doesn't work, feel free to submit an issue!

Questions and answers
Q: How do I change my config?
A: Use hyfetch -c
Q: What do I do if the color is too dark/light for my theme?
A: You can try setting the colors' "lightness" in the configuration menu. The value should be between 0 and 1. For example, if you are using dark theme and the rainbow flag is too dark to display, you can set lightness to 0.7.
Feel free to experiment with it!
Q: Why do you use pride flag's coloring? I don't think it looks nice at all.
A: The core idea behind HyFetch coloring isn't just to make logos look nicer, it's about representation and identity. While it's okay to assess the visual appeal, you also need to understand that the LGBTQ+ flag colors serves a much deeper purpose than just aesthetics.
For many in the LGBTQ+ community, these flags symbolize their identity, struggles, and pride. Integrating these symbols into a showcase of the tech specs they share can provide a sense of empowerment. It's combining their enthusiasm for their favorite distro / hardware with their LGBTQ+ identity.
Also, by including flag coloring along with the updated neofetch, we're also broadcasting a wider message about the importance of inclusivity and representation. It's not just a design choice, it's a statement that promotes awareness and understanding toward the LGBTQ+ community.
Q: When I use hyfetch
or neowofetch
in my MotD, no art displays. How do I get the art back?
A: Most likely, the stdout
detection is set to auto and is removing the ascii art and colors. To change this, you can: set args
in your hyfetch.json to "--stdout=off"
, add --stdout=off
to the neowofetch
command in your motd script, or set the option in $HOME/.config/(neofetch|neowofetch)/config.conf to off.
Q: How can I run HyFetch on Windows?
A: Install Python > 3.7 and Git > 2.42.0 first. Then, either open Git Bash terminal or install a terminal emulator that can display RGB colors (the default Windows cmd.exe cannot, but the new Windows Terminal can). Then, run pip install hyfetch
and run hyfetch
.
