Onefetch

Onefetch is a high-performance command-line information tool written in Rust, specifically architected to provide immediate, high-fidelity insights into Git repositories directly within the terminal. Unlike traditional system fetch tools like Neofetch, Onefetch processes internal Git structures to extract metadata including code distribution, commit history, active contributors, and licensing status. By 2026, it has solidified its position as the standard for local developer observability, integrating seamlessly with modern terminal emulators that support advanced image protocols like Sixel and Kitty. Its technical architecture prioritizes speed, leveraging Rust's concurrency to parse massive repositories in milliseconds. In an era where AI-assisted development has fragmented codebase understanding, Onefetch provides a grounding source of truth, allowing developers to quickly verify repo health, authorship, and technical debt. It serves as an essential component for both individual developer aesthetics and automated CI/CD logging, where it can export repository summaries in structured formats like JSON or YAML for downstream analytical processing.
