This way, in the event that this port breaks due to an ABI change, people know who to contact to fix it. I committed this port to the openbsd-wip repo with a small TODO file: https://github.com/jasperla/openbsd-wip/tree/master/sysutils/fastfetch This is a repository for ports that are currently in the works. I recommend working on this tree when building new ports. The Readme file in the repo explains how to use it. > > I see OpenBSD has neofetch packaged.

The port works pretty dang well, and its nice to see this utility on OpenBSD.
