cs-fetch is a lightweight, high-performance system information tool inspired by neofetch. Written in the Crystal programming language, it compiles to native code for superior speed compared to shell-script based alternatives. It displays an ASCII or image-based logo alongside key system details like OS, kernel, CPU, GPU, memory, uptime, and shell.

Key features include customizable modules, multiple image backends (kitty, sixel, chafa, iTerm2), color schemes, presets, and config files. It's ideal for terminal enthusiasts wanting quick, beautiful system stats without bloat. Supports Linux, macOS, BSD, and more.

Unlike slower tools, cs-fetch prioritizes minimal resource use and blazing startup times, making it perfect for dotfiles, ricing, or login scripts. Generate configs easily and tweak logos per distro.

Image backends require libs like libsixel or chafa; ASCII fallback used otherwise. Limited Windows support. Config paths relative to XDG.

Via Crystal shards: shards install cs-fetch; binaries on GitHub releases; AUR for Arch, Homebrew for macOS.

JSON-like config at ~/.config/cs-fetch/config.json. Edit modules array, colors, logo. Run --gen-config to start.

Developed in 2022 by bneedhamia as a Crystal rewrite of neofetch for better performance. Gained popularity on GitHub for speed benchmarks outperforming Go/Rust alternatives. Actively maintained with distro logo additions.
