A lightweight, blazing-fast system information tool written in pure C.

• Blazing Fast: Built with pure C and Direct System APIs for minimal resource usage and maximum performance.
• Dynamic ASCII Art: Automatically detects your Linux distribution (Fedora, Arch, Debian, etc.) and renders the corresponding logo.
• Terminal Color Palette: Displays a colorful 16-color block palette at the bottom for aesthetic screenshots.
• Detailed System Insights: Displays CPU specs, real-time temperatures, RAM type & usage (Linux, requires root or cap_dac_read_search — granted automatically by make install), display resolution, disk space, GPU, and OS uptime.
• Standard Build System: Uses a clean Makefile for simple, scalable compilation across platforms.

SmartFetch needs gcc/make and the libcurl development headers (used by the --update checker) to build. libcap is optional but recommended — without it, SmartFetch can still read the RAM type when run with sudo, but not as a regular user.

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev libcap2-bin

# Fedora
sudo dnf install gcc make libcurl-devel libcap

# Arch
sudo pacman -S base-devel curl libcap

Clone the repository and compile using make:

git clone https://github.com/Yassine-Jemi01/SmartFetch.git
cd SmartFetch
make
sudo make install

During sudo make install, SmartFetch also grants itself the cap_dac_read_search capability (if setcap is available) so it can read your RAM type from /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI without needing sudo every time you run it afterward.

Compile using GCC / MinGW from the project root:

gcc C_code/main.c C_code/ui.c C_code/collect_windows.c -I./H_code -o sfetch.exe -lcurl -ladvapi32
sfetch.exe

Note: Windows builds require a MinGW-compatible libcurl development package. RAM Type, CPU Temp, OS Age, and Flatpak are not currently implemented on Windows and will show N/A.
