gw2-cli

Simple neofetch-like command line tool for displaying Guild Wars 2 stats by using the official API.

Note: This is a learning project I set up to familiarize myself with Rust, since I did not have any prior experience with this tech stack. Feel free to contribute to this project.

Usage

Set your GW2 API-key to an environment variable named Gw2Cli_ApiKey. After that, gw2-cli can be used as described below:
