nullfetch

A tiny system fetch for Linux — pure Python, zero dependencies.

✨ Features

• 👤 current user and hostname
• 🐧 Linux distribution and kernel version
• 🖥️ CPU model and GPU
• 🧠 RAM usage
• ⌨️ terminal type
• 🎨 ASCII logo with bold labels
• ❓ built-in --help
• 📦 standard library only — nothing to install

📦 Installation

git clone https://github.com/pybindi/nullfetch.git
cd nullfetch

chmod +x nullfetch.py
ln -s "$PWD/nullfetch.py" ~/.local/bin/nullfetch

Make sure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH:

echo "$PATH" | grep -q "$HOME/.local/bin" && echo OK

Arch Linux

A PKGBUILD for the nullfetch package is included, so you can build and install it with pacman:

git clone https://github.com/pybindi/nullfetch.git
cd nullfetch
makepkg -si

pacman will pull the dependency (python) automatically. pciutils is optional and only needed for GPU detection.

Once published to the AUR, it can be installed with an AUR helper:

yay -S nullfetch

Debian / Ubuntu

Debian packaging lives in debian/. On a Debian-based system:

sudo apt install debhelper devscripts
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
sudo apt install ../nullfetch_1.0.0_all.deb

A prebuilt package is also available in the releases page.

🚀 Usage

Run from the project directory:

python nullfetch.py

Or as a command from anywhere:

nullfetch

Options

🎨 Custom logo

logos.py contains a collection of ASCII art. Pick one and paste it into printlogo():

def printlogo():
    print(r"""        .--.
       |o_o |
       |:_/ |
      //   \ \
     (|     | )
    /'\_   _/`\
    \___)=(___/""")

r"""...""" is a raw multi-line string, so backslashes in the art do not need to be escaped.
