Ugh. Be careful when looking at implementations from other "competing" programs. License trouble is the last thing we need!

Hey @kiedtl !
Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep that in mind.

How are you liking the changes so far?

[rashil2000]

License trouble is the last thing we need!

BTW I just checked, New-PercentageBar is also under MIT license.

[kiedtl]

Going good!

@jcwillox regarding showing more colors in color bar, is there a way to print an extra line so that the rest 8 colors (the bright variants) can be displayed?

Below is how neofetch shows it:

[jcwillox]

Yes we can, since PR #43, info functions can return an array of hashtables, one for each line it wants to display. Currently, the disk info function is the only one that uses that functionality.

function info_colorbar {
    return @(
        @{
            title   = ""
            content = ('{0}[0;40m{1}{0}[0;41m{1}{0}[0;42m{1}{0}[0;43m{1}' +
                '{0}[0;44m{1}{0}[0;45m{1}{0}[0;46m{1}{0}[0;47m{1}' +
                '{0}[0m') -f $e, '   '
        },
        @{
            title   = ""
            content = ('...') -f $e, '   '
        }
    )
}

Ah, thanks, I'll incorporate this into a commit to display all the colors.

@jcwillox I think tackling #13 and #38 before a new release is made would be good. Otherwise, we only have scoop as of now. I can maybe handle the PSGallery part, could you look into choco?

[rashil2000]

No, both names should be the same. Although you can suggest the users (in the wiki) to setup an alias.

[jcwillox]

That's all good

@kiedtl I'm happy to create the workflow for publishing to PSGallery, but would you be able to obtain and add the NuGetApiKey to the Github secrets. Alternatively, I can create an account for winfetch and send you the details.

[rashil2000]

@jcwillox Should I add this to the wiki, for the time being?

[jcwillox]

I wouldn't add it as an actual install method, maybe something more like, "there is a temporary PSGallery package available...". Scoop is still the only "officially" supported way to install winfetch, aside from just downloading it. If someone just wants a way to test winfetch then the direct download is still a good option.

Does PSGallery provide organisational accounts or do you just have to create a normal Microsoft account?

[rashil2000]

maybe something more like, "there is a temporary PSGallery package available..."

Yes, that's what I meant.

Does PSGallery provide organisational accounts or do you just have to create a normal Microsoft account?

If there's a way to create one, I'm not aware of it. From what I have seen, it just gives you a normal Microsoft account Sign In option. Now, that account might be a personal account, or an org account.

I just made a Reddit post on r/PowerShell celebrating the new release!
