Ship #1 Pending review

I have made my own system monitoring tool like fastfetch except the system information shown will always be live and updated.
Many of the functions used for getting that info was using apples APIs and that made it very challenging to code.
I am now very proud that this can be installed like any other cli tool using homebrew and it feels like a real tool.
For any user that wants to try this I want you to know that this tool has been written and tested for macos. Some things may work on linux too but dont expect the same functionality.

Livefetch is being shipped.
Now that version output shows the version of livefetch being the full release. I have updated it for homebrew and the README is complete.
Now any mac user will be able to use this system monitor.

I know I said the info was done, but here comes more.
Using many of apples APIs we now can get the GPU model, battery and display stats.
Livefetch also supports homebrew as the package manager you can install livefetch on your own system with, but also livefetch can track the amount of packages installed with homebrew.
Hope to soon ship!

When larping a linux distro you always need fastfetch/neofetch open. But the problem with those are that the info displayed gets outdated, after just a minute the ram usage could be completely wrong.
This fastfetch like project shows the info live and that darker line looping through is what updates the info.
Now both the info and logo shown is just a test and not real system information. This is just for testing.
In the background there is a config read when starting the program that determines the logo and if that darker line should be shown.
Later comes actually implementing a way to get that information on all the different operating systems.
