HiFetch

A high-performance system information tool written in C that delivers comprehensive system analysis with optimized speed.

Features

Core System Information

• Hardware Detection: CPU, GPU, memory, storage, and network analysis
• Performance Monitoring: Real-time system statistics and resource usage
• Security Scanning: Process monitoring and vulnerability detection
• Network Diagnostics: Interface analysis and connectivity testing
• Advanced Display: Clean output with hardware sensor readings

Performance Optimizations

• Aggressive Compilation: -O3 -march=native -flto -ffast-math optimizations
• Memory Efficiency: Optimized data structures and caching systems
• SIMD Instructions: Vectorized operations for enhanced performance
• Low Overhead: Minimal resource consumption during execution

Installation

One-Line Install (Recommended)

curl -fsSL https://fetch.yssh.dev/install.sh | bash

Or with wget:

wget -qO- https://fetch.yssh.dev/install.sh | bash

Manual Install

# Download pre-built static binary
curl -L https://fetch.yssh.dev/hifetch -o hifetch
chmod +x hifetch
sudo mv hifetch /usr/local/bin/

# Or install to user directory (no sudo required)
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
mv hifetch ~/.local/bin/
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Build from Source

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/Bas3line/hifetch.git
cd hifetch

# Build static binary
make static

# Install system-wide
sudo make install

# Or just use locally
./bin/hifetch-static

Usage

# Basic system information
hifetch

# Additional tools
make hitop    # Build htop replacement
make bench    # Performance benchmarking

Build Targets

• make - Build main hifetch binary
• make static - Build static binary (no dependencies)
• make install - Install to /usr/local/bin
• make deploy - Deploy to your hosting server
• make hitop - Build process monitor
• make bench - Performance benchmarks
• make clean - Clean build artifacts

System Requirements

Minimum Requirements

• Linux-based operating system (kernel 4.4+)
• x86_64 architecture
• No dependencies (static binary)

Build from Source Requirements

Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install gcc make

Fedora/RHEL/CentOS:

sudo dnf install gcc make

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S gcc make

Performance Goals

• Startup Time: < 10ms
• Memory Usage: < 5MB
• CPU Overhead: < 1% during execution
• Hardware Detection: Comprehensive PCI/USB enumeration

Architecture

The codebase is organized into specialized modules:

• Hardware Detection: CPU, GPU, storage, and network device enumeration
• System Monitoring: Real-time metrics and sensor readings
• Security Analysis: Process and vulnerability scanning
• Performance Profiling: Function-level analysis and optimization
• Display Engine: Formatted output and terminal rendering
