Don't think profiler is the right word here. It's usually used in context of measuring some value like perfomance or complexity

I see, still wondering whether there might be a better word - to call it a "tool" is almost an overstatement, because for me that implies versatility, while this is more of a helper script.

information tool in POSIX `sh` using features built into | ||
the language itself (*where possible*). | ||

Makes editing the text a lot easier and diffs shorter because the lines are not split arbitrarily but semantically: https://sembr.org/
Installation is as simple as | ||
copying the script into your PATH | ||
and making it executable, e.g.: | ||
```sh | ||
cd /usr/local/bin | ||
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dylanaraps/pfetch/master/pfetch | ||
sudo chmod +x pfetch | ||
``` |
