archey4
Why (again) a f*cking new Archey fork ?
The answer is here.
Note : Since the 21st September of 2017, you may notice that this repository no longer has the official status of fork.
Actually, the maintainer decided to separate it from the original one's "network" with the help of the GitHub's staff.
Nevertheless, this piece of software is still a fork of the djmelik's Archey project.
