NAME

screenFetch - The Bash Screenshot Information Tool

 

SYNOPSIS

screenfetch [OPTIONAL FLAGS]

 

DESCRIPTION

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.
