## What it is

NerdFetch is a minimal "fetch" script: it prints a few lines about your system, such as the OS, kernel, uptime, packages and memory, each with an icon from Nerd Fonts. It's a plain POSIX shell script, so it's light and portable.

## Why it's here

- **Compact.** A short summary that fits beside your prompt.
- **Icons included.** CoreDesktop installs the Nerd Fonts symbols it uses.

## On CoreDesktop

NerdFetch is installed from the AUR, along with the `ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols` font package that provides its icons. Type `nerdfetch` in a terminal. `update` keeps it current along with the rest of the AUR packages.
