Checking the network graph (https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/network https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/network) seems hyfetch (https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch) is an actively maintained fork, having 500+ commits over neofetch's latest update. On another note, good to know Dylan still alive. He kinda disappeared 2 years ago.

What happened to the original project ? Maintainer just suddenly went radio silent ?
- LorenDB 2y ago
  Yes, radio silence for two years, then he archived all his repos and added a notice somewhere that he has taken up farming: https://news.itsfoss.com/neofetch-rip/ https://news.itsfoss.com/neofetch-rip/

      Hilarious that you have that saved. Any reason for why? Building up the courage to follow suit and use this for encouragement perhaps?

      Or in Tracey Kidder's book The Soul of a New Machine, the hardware engineer who tires of debugging nanosecond timing heisenglitches, moves to a commune in Vermont where he will not have to deal with units of time less than a season.

        Love that book. It enabled me to have one of my favourite flights of all time. Sat next to Chris Turner, chatting about his time at Acorn for about 9 hours. I blogged about something related and included this anecdote part way through. https://popey.com/blog/2023/09/a-virus-for-the-bbc-micro/ https://popey.com/blog/2023/09/a-virus-for-the-bbc-micro/ - under "A short aside"

    This has been a personal fantasy of mine. Every time I read a story about someone dropping software and buying a farm, I'm overcome with envy.

      Maybe try to take a sabbatical and start a garden instead. Farmers deal with annoying shit in their day jobs just like the rest of us… except theirs is literal!
    - bityard 2y ago
      I'm not a farmer but I'm from the midwest and I know a little about farming... very few are farmers by choice. Many have second jobs, just to pay the bills. There are niche and upscale farms that grow specific things like apples and wine grapes that can do quite well, but these are well established family-run businesses that would cost millions of dollars to buy, when they come up for sale at all.

Did you get the number of commits off of the network graph? I use "git log" to pull the number of commits but had no idea the GitHub web site could count the number of commits between two repositories from the most recent commit of one of the repositories.
- forgotpwd16 2y ago
  I simply checked hykilpikonna's contributions in contributors tab which can be put in range. The exact commit difference is shown in fork project page and even has a link to a comparison page (https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/compare/dylanaraps%3Aneofetch%3Amaster...master https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/compare/dylanaraps%3...). But don't think what you're saying can be done from the GitHub ui.

      That’s seems fine to me if they’re all reasonable. You’re using a very sinister tone.

        Brian_K_White 2y ago
        Maybe the fact that 1: "color scheme options" is a carefully worded misrepresentation, and 2: I never said I had any problem with color scheme options, or even those particular color scheme options. You fabricated that, and that act is sinister. Do you have any other totally innocent and sincere questions I can clear up for you?

Or just use one of the many other forks of the original.
