Vijayan Thanks for stopping by guys! I'm Vijayan and Techpulse is my beloved brainchild. Currently working as a PHP developer in a digital marketing start-up, I'm overly passionate about not just learning new things but also putting those into practice. I swear by a quote I once came across... 'What separates successful people from unsuccessful people is the former's ability to execute'. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, suggestions or feedback. Hoping to see more of you here!

Add a welcome message to your terminal


Add a welcome message to your terminal

This tip will show you how you can easily add a welcome message to your terminal. This message will be displayed at the start, whenever you open your terminal.

Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: You need to install figlet. So open the terminal and type the following command:

1
sudo apt-get install figlet

Then press Enter.

Step 2: Open .bashrc in Vim editor and get into insert mode.

1
vim ~/.bashrc

Step 3: Enter the following command in .bashrc:

1
figletx -c your-message

Save and exit.

Step 4: Now, when you open your terminal, you can see your welcome message.

To make your message more interesting, try using ASCII art. I recommend this website to generate ASCII art – ascii.mastervb.net
