Note
If you just wanna fully use it just like I'm using then I recommend watchng the video. If you just want the config for Fastfetch then just paste the config where your Fastfetch config is located. If you have a PowerShell profile then just add your location and other stuff in your profile yourself as idk what you got.
If you see "execution of scripts is disabled on this system", don’t panic! Just open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force
Fastfetch is a neofetch-like tool for fetching system information and displaying it in a visually appealing way. It is written mainly in C, with a focus on performance and customizability.
⚙️ Installation:
You can follow the steps below, or jump to the setup video if you want your terminal to look 1:1 to mine.
- Install Fastfetch and I believe you already got the Windows terminal installed.
- Copy the config file for your Terminal here, PowerShell profile from here and Fastfetch config from here
- Remove the codes from the settings.json file in your terminal and paste the one you just copied from above. Do the same thing for your PowerShell profile.
- Create a .config hidden file in your C:\Users%USERPROFILE% and create a folder called fastfetch inside. Copy the config and ascii code you just downloaded and paste it in that folder.
- Change the %USERPROFILE% from the config file in the fastfetch folder and the PowerShell profile with your username..
- Restart your terminal and your done. If this feel complicated just watch the setup video.
