Unable to locate package

[wild dagger]

Hello, Guys
I tried to install fastfetch on linux mint to get the system information but instead it shows me error

E: Unable to locate package fastfetch

What can I do?

[scenic flicker]

it doesn't exist on the mint repos

error pretty much tells you what is happening

[wild dagger]

How can I add it to mint repos?

[obtuse osprey]

Try neofetch instead

[scenic flicker]

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zhangsongcui3371/fastfetch
sudo apt update

and then sudo apt install fastfetch

(taken from the fastfetch github page)

[wild dagger]

I have tried that command but without apt update and it gave me an error

[scenic flicker]

.

[wild dagger]

Alright I will try it anyway

[scenic flicker]

do it

[wild dagger]

Ok

[scenic flicker]

sudo apt update is important

[wild dagger]

Alright thanks

[scenic flicker]

or else the package cache won't get updated

[wild dagger]

Oh yeah, another question?

[scenic flicker]

?

[wild dagger]

I installed git with

sudo apt install git

But the problem is that git was git 2.43

Is it a problem because I didn't do
sudo apt update?

[scenic flicker]

no

[wild dagger]

So why git is 2.43 and not 2.50

Ohh sorry I know it now

[scenic flicker]

because thats the latest git version mint provides

[wild dagger]

Oh alright thanks

But it won't affect my projects?

Like it will push and pull?

[scenic flicker]

no, only if you need a new feature that isn't on 2.43

[wild dagger]

What is the new features in git anyway?

[wild dagger]

So if I want the latest version should I do it with flatpak?

@scenic flicker ?

[scenic flicker]

yeah
