history
Project history and usage
HyFetch is a terminal system-information tool descended from the neofetch ecosystem, adding LGBTQ+ pride-flag color schemes while keeping a path for users who want an updated neofetch-style command through neowofetch.
Project history
The project began as a Python package around the familiar neofetch workflow: run a command, display system facts, and render distribution art in terminal colors. Its README positions the project both as pride-themed HyFetch and as an maintained neofetch-derived implementation after the upstream neofetch repository was archived.
The release history shows a long 1.x line with distro-logo, flag, packaging, and shell-integration work. The 1.99.0 release marked the end of the Python-first line and the transition toward Rust and fastfetch-oriented backends; the 2.0.1 release described the Rust rewrite and added backends such as macchina.
Adoption history
HyFetch moved from Python packaging into system package managers. The README documents PyPI, pipx, uv, Cargo, Arch, Fedora, Nix, Guix, Slackware, Homebrew, openSUSE, Gentoo, Debian, and Ubuntu installation paths, while the Homebrew formula gives it a standard `brew install hyfetch` entry point.
How it is used
The first-run experience asks users to select a color system and flag preset, then stores preferences in `~/.config/hyfetch.json`. Users can run `hyfetch` for pride-themed output or `neowofetch` when they want the neofetch-style output without pride colors.
Why package nerds care
HyFetch matters to package nerds because it is both a culture-aware fork and a practical continuation point for a beloved terminal toy. It tracks distro art, package-manager quirks, terminal color behavior, and backend compatibility, which are exactly the kinds of small portability details that make fetch tools fun and annoying to maintain.
