If you'd like to work on one of these, let me know in IRC or gitter so I can assign it to you.

General

• Rewrite printing of info.
  • Add alignment options.
• Rewrite Neofetch to be a "generic system info tool"
  • Each format below will be a different output "mode".
  • Output info with no escape sequences. Info: [WIP] Add info output formats #617
  • Output info in yaml. Info: [WIP] Add info output formats #617
  • Output info in json. Info: [WIP] Add info output formats #617
  • Output info in a tab separated format. Info: [WIP] Add info output formats #617
  • Output info in ?
• Split Neofetch into multiple files.
  • This will likely be apart of the rewrite above.
• Rewrite argument handling.
  • Parse the argument list properly.
  • Remove complexity of --colors and etc.
  • Possibly inform users of incorrect flag usage.
    • Warn on invalid flag value.
    • Warn on flags that require values.
  • Add flag called --print which takes a list of functions.
    • Example: neofetch --print cpu will only print the cpu info.
  • Hand relative file paths correctly. General: Neofetch now understands relative paths #623
    • Rewrite get_script_dir() to be a generic replacement for readlink -f. General: Neofetch now understands relative paths #623
• Rewrite color handling.
  • It's a mess right now.
  • Add back shortcut flags for colors.
    • title_color
    • at_color
    • underline_color
    • subtitle_color
    • colon_color
    • info_color
• Fix inconsistencies in neofetch --help output.
  • Change all Takes the values to Possible values.
• Add config_version to config files so that we can do version checks in the future.
  • config_version can just match neofetch version.

Images

• Move all image modes to a central backend. Image: Rewrite backend handling. #616
  • This way the user specifies a single backend using a flag/option and neofetch just has to pick the output method. We already partly do this but I'd like to fully combine it all.
  • Move ascii mode to an image backend called ascii.
  • Move off mode to an image backend called off.
  • Add support for catimg.
  • Add support for other backends.

OS

• Add support for HP-UX. OS: Add initial support for HP-UX 11.31+ #625

Info

• Resolution: Multi-monitor support for Windows.
  • Our current method of using wmic only supports single monitors.
  • We may need to add a dependency to an external powershell script or executable.
    • The dependency must be Open Source.
• Terminal Font: Add support for more terminal emulators.
  • Gnome-terminal
  • iTerm2
  • Terminator
  • ?
• Disk:
  • Add an option to show all disks.
  • Add more subtitle options.
  • Add a blacklist/whitelist for disks.

Wiki

• Add a section to Images in the Terminal about disabling your compositor when you're having w3m-img issues.
• Update dependencies for 3.0.1.
