Fitch

Command line system information display utility for Linux systems built with .NET (F#).

NOTE: This application should work on most Linux systems. However, it's only been tested on the following distributions:

• Arch
  • Manjaro
• Debian
  • Ubuntu
• NixOS. For additional guidance, see this article.

Dependencies

• Spectre.Console

Installation

Prerequisites

• .NET 8 SDK

Install from nuget

Instructions

Installation is as easy as:

dotnet tool install --global fitch

Build from source

Instructions

1. Clone fitch repo in your Linux machine

   git clone https://github.com/lqdev/fitch.git && cd fitch
   

2. Add these lines inside <PropertyGroup> in the fitch.fsproj file

   <PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>    
   <IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>true</IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>
   <RuntimeIdentifier>linux-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>

   This will generate a single executable file with all the dependencies included, a single executable file it's not supported in Nuget yet, so we need to do this manually.

3. Run the script Setup.sh

   ./Setup.sh

   

   Running this script will generate an executable called fitch in the bin/Release/net8.0/linux-x64/publish directory and copy it to the /usr/bin/ directory, so you can run the application from anywhere in your system.

Run application

1. For both cases just type fitch in your terminal

   fitch

2. (Optional) Add the fitch command to your shell config file to start when your shell starts

To-Dos

• Enable customization through config file
