Note

This is a learning project for me, I have made use of llms in here. If you don't like that, good - don't use it.

🚀 Quick Start

Build Instructions

You'll need NASM and ld (via binutils).

# After installing dependencies, clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/blumenwagen/asm-fetch.git
cd asm-fetch

# Build (assemble + link + strip)
make

# Clean build artifacts
make clean

# Install to ~/.local/bin/
make install

Or manually:

nasm -f elf64 asm-fetch.asm -o asm-fetch.o
ld -s asm-fetch.o -o asm-fetch

Running

./asm-fetch

Note

You can also run make install to copy it to ~/.local/bin/, or manually add it to your PATH.
