+# ritfetch
+
+A fetch command that can get club information
+
+## How to
+
+`usage: ritfetch domain`
+
+ritfetch needs a `domain` to get data from its `.well-known/ritfetch` directory.
+
+### Setting up a domain
+
+To setup a domain for ritfetch create two files in `.well-known/ritfetch`
+
+#### logo
+
+Make a file called `logo` that is just ascii a image. This is to be printed just like your linux distro icon on a linux system. Also the file needs to have its anscii escape code within it such that when you curl the file, what is printed is what you will see.
+
+#### data
+
+Make a file called `data` that contains the colors, spacing, and data for the fetch. The first line is a number containing the offset which the data will be shown from the logo. The 2nd two numbers are the anscii escape code colors (without the [ and the m) for the accent highlight color and normal text color. Finally the rest of the lines will just be a line for the key and then a line for the value, for all the content shown in the fetch.
