About fastfetch itself
Fastfetch is a system information tool written in C and released under the MIT License. It was created by Linus Dierheimer and is maintained today by Carter Li together with contributors on GitHub. It was built as a faster, actively maintained alternative to Neofetch, which was archived in April 2024. This guide covers version 2.69.0.
The official project lives at github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch: releases, wiki, discussions and issue tracker. When this guide and the official documentation disagree, the official documentation is right; please tell us so we can fix the page.
How we keep it accurate
- Sources: we rely on the official wiki, the project's release notes (
CHANGELOG.md) and the output offastfetch -h, not on forum posts or older blog articles. - Testing: commands are run against the current release. Example configs are validated against the project's own JSON schema before they are published.
- Versioning: pages state the fastfetch version they cover and are reviewed when a new release changes something they describe. The documentation shows its last review date.
- Corrections: if something is wrong or outdated, email support@fastfetch.dev. Errors are corrected in place.
