WSLC-Neofetch

A minimal sample that uses the WSL Container API to run the Linux neofetch command from a native Windows executable. Running neofetch.exe starts a lightweight WSL container, runs neofetch inside it, and streams the output back to your terminal. Command-line arguments are forwarded, so neofetch.exe --help works just like neofetch --help on Linux.

Build

Open WSLCNeofetch.sln in Visual Studio and build (x64), or from a developer command prompt:

nuget restore WSLCNeofetch.sln
msbuild WSLCNeofetch.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform=x64

Run

x64\Debug\neofetch.exe            # show system info
x64\Debug\neofetch.exe --help     # forwarded to neofetch

Progress messages ([wslc] ...) are written to stderr, so piping stdout is safe.
