What it is

A command-line program written in C that detects details such as OS, kernel, CPU, GPU, memory, shell and desktop environment, then prints them next to an ASCII or image logo. Output is configured through JSONC files with selectable modules, custom logos and JSON export. Terminal users on Linux, macOS, Windows, BSD and Android use it to show off their setup in screenshots or to check hardware and software details quickly, often as a maintained replacement for neofetch.
