Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade winfetch -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2.0.0'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade winfetch -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'2.0.0'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

  win_chocolatey:
    name: winfetch
    version: '2.0.0'

Description

NOTE: The following text is an excerpt from the official README.md.

Winfetch is a command-line system information utility written in PowerShell 5+. Winfetch displays information about your operating system, software and hardware in an aesthetic and visually pleasing way.

The overall purpose of Winfetch is to be used in screenshots of your system. Winfetch shows the information other people want to see. There are other tools available for proper system statistic/diagnostics.

The information by default is displayed alongside your operating system's logo. You can further configure Winfetch to instead use an image, your wallpaper or nothing at all.

According to benchmarks done with Hyperfine, Winfetch on Windows is faster than Neofetch running on Bash emulators like MSYS (Git Bash) or Cygwin.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

  • Added legacy windows logo, use -switchlogo to use the alternate logo
  • Added -all parameter to show all built-in info segments (regardless of your config)
  • Added -stripansi parameter to disable colors/fancy formatting similar to --stdout in neofetch
  • Added -configpath parameter and WINFETCH_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to override the default location of the config
  • Command-line parameters will now override those set in the config
  • Long lines will now be truncated instead of wrapping to the next line
  • Added a basic legacy branch for systems older than Windows 7
  • The default config is now embedded within winfetch.ps1 and is generated automatically if your config doesn't exist
  • Added percentage bars to cpu, memory, disk and battery, they are configured similar to neofetch, for example, use winfetch -cpustyle bar -diskstyle textbar

New Info

  • kernel
  • resolution
  • motherboard
  • battery
  • local_ip
  • public_ip
  • cpu_usage
  • locale
  • theme

New Configuration

We have also switched to a much more modular approach for info segments, this simplified the code and made it easier to add new info segments. This change also allows users to add custom info segments in their config. The default config has been updated, see the configuration docs for more information.

If you never used winfetch -genconf before then you should automatically be switched to the new config, otherwise, you can regenerate a new config with winfetch -genconf.
Optionally, you can attempt to migrate your old configuration, this commit may help.

Benchmarks

There have been many improvements to speed since v1.2.0. Comparing v1.2.0 to v2.0.0 with the same segments enabled 1500ms -> 350ms which is around a 4x improvement. More details can be seen on the winfetch vs neofetch benchmarks.
