Yet Another Fetch is a tool that fetches system information and shows it in a beautiful way for some extra upvotes on r/unixporn. It is extremely minimal and customizability is it's strong feature. Don't want to show your disk usage? Hide it with the exclude flag. Want to change the separator between the os and Arch Linux field? Use separator flag.
yaf is written in Golang. (Because everyone is writing a fetch in some language, why not Go then?)
Get the latest release binary from GitHub and use it on your system. Yes, as simple as that.
yaf is available on AUR here and can be installed with:
yay -S yafetchor
paru -S yafetchNOTE:
yafwas taken so had to publish withyafetchname.
You can install yaf, by adding the overlay to layman with this command
sudo layman -a thamognyaand then you can do
sudo emerge -a yafIt will ask you to unmask it, as it is still testing for bugs (this is standard procedure for new ebuilds) hence you can unmask it by doing
sudo emerge yaf --autounmask && dispatch-confthen type u
and then emerge it with the following command
sudo emerge -a yaf --autounmaskand then install the package how you would normally.
