hello.sh

NOTE: Click the weird, feather-thingy, coloured-orange, on the top-left of the page to go back.

A cool startup script you can integrate into any shell! Whether it be the StarshipRS prompt, or the FISH interactive shell, it will work!

Features

Step 1. Downloading hello.sh

First of all, we need to download the file. Before we can do that, let's install Wget or cURL.

We will be using Wget.

$ sudo pacman -Sy wget

Once done, we can download the archive

$ wget https://github.com/mickoissicko/hello.sh/releases/download/v1.0.4-stable/hellosh-1.0.4.tar.gz

Step 2. Using Tar to extract the contents of the downloaded file

Let's extract the file. Before we can do that, we need to install Tar.

$ sudo pacman -S tar

And extract it using:

$ tar -xy hellosh-1.0.4.tar.gz

Step 3. Basic configuration

Let's start.

$ cd hello.sh
 
$ ./start.sh

Select 1 to change the *Fetch client. In this guide, we will be using ScreenFetch as the installation script automatically installs it.

ScreenFetch is the default, however, you can use any *Fetch client: uwufetch, neofetch, etc.

Step 4. Installation

Installing it is even easier. Just navigate to wherever your terminal configuration is saved, and copy the path.

Mine is saved in ~/.config/fish/config.fish. Yours will differ.

Now, open the menu, and select '2', then enter the location when prompted.

Instead of using '~', please use '/home/your_username'. You can get your username by running this command:

$ whoami

Let's say Katie is installing this. The result would be:

Katie

And Katie likes using the FISH shell. She would use the following path:

/home/katie/.config/fish/config.fish

This will differ.

Step 5. Testing

Now that you are done, close the terminal window, and open a new one.

And et voila! You will see a cool welcome screen.

Consider using the script with the 'ly' greeter, it will display the message upon start.
