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:

sudo apt-get install figlet
Then press Enter.
Step 2:
Open .bashrc
in Vim editor and get into insert mode.

vim ~/.bashrc
Step 3:
Enter the following command in .bashrc

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