- Inside the .bashrc file to the very end and type neofetch and save the changes.
- .bashrc file runs as a program and it will trigger the neofetch command every time it loads as a new instance inside a terminal
If you have any other shell go to your shell’s rc file and type neofetch there.
Now, configure the .config file of Neofetch to set it up for what you want to see.

- Open the neofetch folder.
- Open config.conf file inside the code editor of your choice and edit the contents inside the print info function, we comment out the properties that we don’t want to display using the # symbol in bash.
