What does it do ?

Grab is a custom fetch script made for our operating system. Upon running the command, it shows an overview of the specifications ofthe host system just like neofetch

How does it work

Grab uses shell commands inside C++. The C++ part of the code handles all the layout calculations and printing. The shell script (under the shell_script variable) fetches the info.

The reason for using shell scripts is that they are easier to expand upon than C++ code. However, due to the fact that printing in shell is very slow for a cosmetic interface like a fetch script, C++ has been used alongside shell scripts.
