# Description 📖

`nitch` is a small and incredibly fast system fetch written fully in `nim👑` without any dependencies, on my pc
it executes in around 1.70 miliseconds.

The source code of `nitch` is highly documented and I hope it will act as a learning resource for nim
and linux systems architecture

If anything in the source code is unclear or is lacking in its explanation, open an issue. Sometimes you get too close to something and you fail to see the "bigger picture"!

btw written in `nim👑`

why `nim👑`? because it's fast and simple

<br>

# Installation ☁️
```fish
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unxsh/nitch/main/setup.sh && sh setup.sh
```

# Usage 🪨
```
nitch
```

flags:
```
 -f --fetch   | return fetch about system
 -h --help    | return help message
 -v --version | return version of program
```

# Configuration ⚙️
### `nitch` is configured by changing the source code
### `src/funcs/drawing.nim` - config file
```nim
