About Macchina

Macchina is a fetching program, not a library.

Macchina lets you view basic system information, like your hostname, kernel version, uptime, memory usage, and much more. No one wants a slow fetcher, and Macchina's selling point is providing you with convenient features while keeping performance a priority and minimalism a goal.

Dependencies

• wmctrl to print your window manager
• If you're on NetBSD, you'll want to install:
  • ripgrep

Benchmarks

Macchina is pretty fast, see for yourself:

• Execution time is measured using hyperfine

| Command | Mean [ms] | Min [ms] | Max [ms] | Relative | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | macchina | 46.7 ± 2.9 | 45.3 | 62.5 | 1.00 | | neofetch | 398.2 ± 22.8 | 373.8 | 435.7 | 8.53 ± 0.72 |

Summary: macchina runs 8.53 ± 0.72 times faster than neofetch

• Note that hiding elements with --hide significantly improves speed
