💅 WSLFETCH(1) 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to the glow-up edition of WSLFETCH(1) — straight outta the WSL Utilities User Manual, and we're about to make your terminal screenshots actually cute. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

wslfetch — she's a whole component of WSL Utilities, and she's here to serve.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

wslfetch [-hvcg] [-t THEME] [-o OPTIONS]

like, there she is. short. iconic. that's the whole vibe.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is the WSL Screenshot Information Tool, fr fr. her literal job is to print information in an elegant way — and honestly? she ate. 💅 you run her, she spills your system deets all pretty-like, and you screenshot it for the group chat. main character energy, periodt. ✨

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -h, --help — prints a simple help. that's it. she's being nice to you. 🥺
  • -v, --version — prints the current version. flex the numbers, bestie. 👑
  • -c, --colorbar — adds a colorbar to the printed information. you can also set this using the WSLFETCH_COLORBAR configuration. aesthetic unlocked 🎨
  • -g, --generic — forces her to print information with the generic WSL logo. no distro-specific nonsense, just vibes. 🦋
  • -t, --theme THEME — sets a custom theme from the file THEME. this can also be set with the WSLFETCH_THEME_PATH configuration. dress her up 💖
  • -o, --options OPTIONS — sets custom options from the file OPTIONS. pls refer to the WSLFETCH_INFO_SECTION bit in the CONFIGURATION section below for more info, iykyk. 🫶

🧚 CONFIGURATION 🧚

WSLFETCH_INFO_SECTION

the sections of info from wslsys that get shown in wslfetch. these are all the available options, no gatekeeping:

windows-install-date
windows-rel-branch
windows-build
windows-full-build
display-scaling
windows-locale
windows-theme
windows-uptime
wsl-uptime
wsl-release
wsl-kernel
wsl-package-count
wsl-ip

ok important note: wsl-version will be always ignored, because it's builtin in wslfetch — like, she already knows, she was born with it. 💀

the default value is "windows-build,windows-rel-branch,wsl-release,wsl-kernel,windows-uptime". memorialize it, bestie 📝

WSLFETCH_THEME_PATH

this lets you use your own customized theme. yes, your theme. go off. 🎀

WSLFETCH_COLORBAR

whether you want to display the colorbar in wslfetch. heads up though — this will override the -c, --colorbar param. so like, the config wins the argument. it's giving "mother knows best." 🙈
