screenFetch in Windows Terminal with Dracula theme.
screenFetch was originally made as a "Bash Screenshot Information Tool". Simply, it lets you display detailed information about your system in the terminal, it also comes with a ASCII logo for the detected Linux distribution.
This doesn't work on Windows natively and this project is my attempt to provide a solution that does not require obtaining a linux environment on windows.
The original can be found in KittyKatt's repository.
The original screenfetch requires a system that supports bash so it cannot be used on windows natively! This is a small scale project that simply "mimics" the behaviour of screenFetch in windows.
Windows screenFetch is a PowerShell script, not a Bash program. Therefore, a linux-like environment such as Cygwin or MinGW is not required. This can be run natively on windows as a PowerShell script within a PowerShell or command prompt console.
Since this tool is only intended to run within a windows environment, no flags to invoke any Linux distribution ASCII art is supported.
