One More Way to Install (and Pizza)

Two small things today: hackfetch is now on the AUR, and there’s a new logo.

hackfetch on the AUR

A reviewer on my last ship said they had a hard time getting hackfetch running on CachyOS (an Arch-based Linux distro). Instead of trying to reproduce their exact issue, I figured the cleanest fix was to publish hackfetch through the package manager Arch users already trust.
 
So hackfetch is now up as hackfetch-bin on the AUR: aur.archlinux.org/packages/hackfetch-bin
 
If you’re on Arch, CachyOS, Manjaro, EndeavourOS, Garuda, or any other Arch-based distro:

yay -S hackfetch-bin

Or with paru:
paru -S hackfetch-bin

The package pulls the pre-built binary straight from the GitHub release, so there’s no waiting on a source build. Works on both x86_64 and aarch64.
 
Add it up and hackfetch is now installable one command from:

  • brew (macOS and Linuxbrew)
  • apt / dnf / yum / pacman / zypper / apk (all through the curl installer)
  • the AUR (Arch family)
  • go install (any platform with Go)
  • the PowerShell installer (Windows)

This thing is getting kind of hard to NOT install.

Pizza logo

Hack Club runs on pizza. Now hackfetch does too.
 
hackfetch pizza
 
It’s a triangular slice viewed from the tip, HACK CLUB baked into the middle, and a rolled crust at the wide edge.
 
The tricky part was the crust. I went through three drafts trying to make it curve at the bottom without breaking the connection to the slice’s diagonal sides (turns out you can’t cleanly connect diagonal characters to horizontal ones in a monospace grid). Landed on a two-row rolled crust where the diagonals keep going and the interior fills with a double horizontal band.
 
Pairs surprisingly well with sunset:

Turns your terminal into a golden-hour pizza box.

Ship

Both landed in v1.7.3. If you’re on Arch-family:
 
yay -S hackfetch-bin
 
Elsewhere:
 
brew update
brew upgrade hackfetch
 
Now try hackfetch pizza and tell me if the crust looks right.
