Neofetch is no more. The git repository for the venerable tool to show off the users' window manager configurations on /r/unixporn was archived and will no longer be maintained. Granted, it hadn't received a commit for around 3 years, so this is not unexpected. Thankfully, many tools of this kind abound in the FOSS world. One is Fastfetch, which is very similar to Neofetch but supposedly faster. Moments ago, I installed Fastfech and wasted a little bit of time configuring it. Why? Because.

The main difference between the two, from a user point of view, is that JSONC is used for Fastfetch's configuration. You can see all the options for the built-in modules on the schema present at the tool's repository or the documentation. You can also use my configuration below as a starting point.

{
    "$schema": "https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/raw/dev/doc/json_schema.json",
    "logo": {
        "type": "file",
        "source": "$HOME/.config/fastfetch/logo.txt"
    },
    "display": {
        "separator": "  -> "
    },
    "modules": [
        {
            "type": "custom",
            "format": "┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐"
        },
        {
            "type": "os",
            "key": "│  OS"
        },
        {
                "type": "kernel",
                "key": "│  Kernel"
        },
        {
            "type": "packages",
            "key": "│  Packages",
        },
        {

        },
        {

            "key": "│  Shell"
        },
        {

            "key": "│  Display"
        },
        {

            "key": "│  CPU",
        },
        {
            "type": "gpu",
            "key": "│  GPU",
        },
        {
            "type": "memory",
            "key": "│  Memory",
        },
        {
            "type": "swap",
            "key": "│  Swap"
        },
        {
            "type": "custom",
            "format": "└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘"
        },
        "break",
        {
            "type": "colors"
        }
    ]
}

If you want something different, there are several options, such as Nitch, Pfetch, Catnip, and Meowfetch. I'm the maintainer for the meowfetch-git package on Arch Linux's AUR, and I recommend it if you want to see a kitty every time you display your system info on the terminal.
