  • Pure Bash Bible

    > does NetBSD sh or FreeBSD sh have them.

    Yes and yes. My FreeBSD machine has not even been updated in 5 years, if that helps.

    > What's the point of "pure sh" if it's restricted to specific versions of shells.

    The aforementioned features have been implemented for a very long time. The issues with old versions of dash I mentioned were crashes for very simple things, which is simply a bug rather than some fancy new-fangled feature that was yet to be implemented. Plus, the bible specifically listed workarounds for them.

    dylanaraps has quite a prolific collection of shell programs, and they run on a variety of operating systems. Most notably, pfetch[1] runs on Linux, Android, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Minix, Haiku, macOS, Solaris and IRIX. I assure you that he is fully aware of the importance of compatibility.

    His pure Bash bible even has very thorough warnings for Bash versions required, since macOS uses Bash 3.2 (released in 2006) due to licensing reasons.

  • VanillaOS logo for pfetch
    2 projects | /r/vanillaos | 25 Mar 2023
    If you know pfetch, I recently rewrote it in Rust and also added a bunch of logos, including one for Vanilla OS.
  • SteamOS logo for pfetch
    3 projects | /r/SteamDeck | 25 Mar 2023
    The logo is also backwards compatible with the original pfetch by dylanaraps written in POSIX sh, if you prefer that.
  • Updated Pop! OS logo in pfetch-rs
    2 projects | /r/pop_os | 18 Mar 2023
    If you have used pfetch before, I rewrote it in Rust, resulting in an about 10x faster execution time. It also includes a new ascii logo for Pop! OS that was made by Github user ThomasM92 for the original pfetch, but was sadly never merged.
  • pfetch-rs - A rewrite of pfetch in Rust
    3 projects | /r/rust | 18 Feb 2023
    pfetch is a popular system utility written in POSIX sh that displays system information. I rewrote the tool in Rust, making it run 10x faster. Repo: https://github.com/Gobidev/pfetch-rs
