๐ก Inspiration & Encouragement
StarFetch was born from a deep respect for the legacy of command-line tools. We are incredibly honored to have received these words of encouragement from Dylan Araps, the creator of neofetch:
> "Starfetch looks cool. It looks like a lot of care has gone into it. ... I wish you all the best and I hope you succeed in your goals."
> โ Dylan Araps
His reminder that "writing software is fun but can also be very draining" and to "look after yourselves" is a core value we carry forward in this project.

Troubleshooting
If you see warnings like profile package spec 'zlib-rs' in profile 'dev' did not match any packages, your global Cargo config (~/.cargo/config.toml) has profile overrides for packages such as zlib-rs or adler2 that this repo does not use. Edit ~/.cargo/config.toml and remove or comment out sections like [profile.dev.package.zlib-rs], [profile.release.package.adler2], and [profile.release.package.zlib-rs]. You can also ignore the warningโit does not affect the build.
