Heavily inspired by how neofetch works in principle, but for your stack/language/services....

Ever got an issue from someone on a project and you can't reproduce on your side ? But then asking to run a bunch of command line to get like, the version of his cli/package-manager/system environment, what is the processor... ?

As a maintainer, yes, me too...

Meet stackfetch, with a provided programming language or just a stack, you are going to have all informations you want to help debuguing. even regarding services or ports opened / closed.

FEATURES

  • Cross‑platform: Linux, macOS, Windows (amd64 & arm64) with graceful fall‑backs for BSD and WSL.
  • Structured output: choose plain text or --json for CI pipelines and issue templates.
  • Batteries included: 60 + language runtimes, DevOps tools, and deployment stacks pre‑wired.
  • Shell completion: stackfetch completion bash|zsh|fish|powershell for instant CLI hints.
  • Guess Mode: Automatically guess the stack of the current directory project. stackfetch guess # or just : stackfetch ?
  • Services status: Checks for running services from which the stack depends on.
  • Services port: Checks for opened port regarding services from which the stack depends on.
  • QA matrix: stackfetch qa outputs post-release feature story health in plain and markdown formats.
  • QA strict/validation: stackfetch qa --validate checks tracker integrity and stackfetch qa --strict fails when blocked stories are found.
  • QA matrix control: --status, --area, --fail-on, and --tracker flags for filtering, custom gating rules, and custom tracker paths.
  • Discover keys: stackfetch keys lists supported stacks/runtimes, with --contains filter and --sort asc|desc ordering.
  • Key introspection: stackfetch keyinfo <key> reports support status, dependency map, and optional live fetch details.
