Create greetings after the launch Linux Terminal

Hey! Today I will tell you how to create greetings after the launch Linux Terminal.

---

First, create folder

mkdir welcome-script
cd welcome-script/

After this, you need to create .sh file

touch welcome.sh

---

You need to open welcome.sh file via Vim

sudo vim ./welcome.sh

---

Basic commands

echo - command that output text, etc.

Variable (programming) - named

Commands in a variable - output anything, function

sleep - time to finish something after the time

u - variable for Linux function(like Username, OS version, etc)

$ - for output Linux command. Example: os=$(whoami) (variable=function for command(command)

---

Code

#!/bin/bash

name="Name"

u="$USER"

echo " "
echo " "
echo "░█░█░█░█▀▀▀░█░░░░█▀▀▀░█▀▀█░█▀█▀█░█▀▀▀░"
echo "░█░█░█░█▀▀▀░█░░░░█░░░░█░░█░█░█░█░█▀▀▀░"
echo "░▀▀▀▀▀░▀▀▀▀░▀▀▀▀░▀▀▀▀░▀▀▀▀░▀░▀░▀░▀▀▀▀░"
sleep 1

echo " "
now=$(date)
echo "Current time: $now"

echo " "
echo "Hello $USER!"
sleep 1

echo " "
os=$(uname -r)
echo "Your OS is $os"
echo " "
sleep 1

setup=$(neofetch)
echo "Your PC stats: $setup"
echo " "
sleep 1

---

Edit .bashrc

Open your file manager and paste this command

/home/YOURUSER/.bashrc/

And now you need to paste command to .bashrc

source /home/YOURUSER/welcome-script/welcome.sh

You can easily download this script from my GitHub repository.

Hi Kostaintyn.

A few points about your post:

Your code block has the line

u="$USER"

...but then you don't use $u anywhere. Did you miss something out when you copied from your script file?

You mention using Vim to edit a file but then your next example is editing .bashrc with KWrite? And why do you use sudo here:

sudo vim ./welcome.sh

There's no reason to edit a local script that's going to be executed by your user, as root.

Lastly, the link to your GitHub repository is broken somehow - it's rendering as an image instead of as a text link.

Hi, I'm sorry about that. I already fixed the link to my repository at GitHub.

You can edit .bashrc with any editor you like, I personally used KWrite

You don't need to create a folder and separate script. You can simply put all the code into your .bashrc file directly.
