FinnGrab - System Information Display Tool

FinnGrab is a personal project aimed at creating a system information display tool using C++. Similar to its predecessor, "FinnGet," which was implemented as a PowerShell module, FinnGrab is designed to provide essential system information in a more performance-oriented language.

Project Overview

FinnGrab utilizes C++ to gather and display fundamental system information, including the "FinnGrab" version, screen resolution, uptime, and RAM details. The tool is executed by running the finngrabrunner.ps1 PowerShell script, which automates the process of compiling, running, displaying the information, and cleaning up the executable file afterward.

Please note that the project is a work in progress and is currently focused on printing the specified system information. Future updates may include additional features and improvements.
