#screenFetch: The BASH Screenshot Information Tool

[screenFetch](https://github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch) is a “**Bash Screenshot Information Tool**”. It fetches system/theme information in terminal for Linux desktop screenshots. It 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.

screenFetch will display the following details:

- Current logged in user
- Os version
- Kernel version
- Total Uptime
- No of installed packages
- Present shell details
- Present screen resolution
- Current Desktop environment
- Current Window manger (File manager)
- Total and Free Disk usage in percentage
- CPU details such as processor speed, type
- Total and current usage RAM sze
