    so that everytime you launch a terminal, your neofetch data is displayed. Because wow, neofetch!!!

    It doesn’t really make sense, since the data would be outdated anyway if piped into .bashrc that way…

      But .bashrc is executed, not displayed.

      Maybe they meant to say echo neofetch >> ~/.bashrc.

      It won’t work. It’s a dangerous command because a single > destroys your .bashrc. You may want either echo 'neofetch' >> .bashrc or neofetch | sed -e 's:%:a:g' | sed -e "s:^\\(.*\\)$:printf '\1\\\\n':" >> .bashrc or something of that kind.

      EDIT: tested out the latter command
