A concise guide to set up CloverCmd appearance using Fastfetch and a custom Command Prompt/PowerShell configuration.
This repo contains example settings and Fastfetch files used to give Command Prompt a Clover-themed prompt (ASCII clover). Follow the steps below to reproduce the setup.
Below is a screenshot of my Command Prompt showing the Clover ASCII and Fastfetch output:
- Paste the Command Prompt settings
- Open Windows Terminal or Command Prompt settings and paste the JSON from:
- Install Fastfetch
Run:
winget install fastfetchIf that package name doesn't match in winget, install Fastfetch from its official repo or releases page and ensure fastfetch is on your PATH.
- Create or open your PowerShell profile
- Check your profile path in PowerShell:
$PROFILE- If the profile file does not exist, create it:
New-Item -Path $profile.CurrentUserAllHosts -Type File -Force- Edit the profile to run
fastfetchon startup (optional):
notepad $PROFILE
# or
code $PROFILEAdd a line like this to show Fastfetch at shell start:
fastfetch- Create the
.configfolder and copy Fastfetch files
- Create a
.configdirectory in your user profile and mark it hidden, then add afastfetchfolder:
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.config" -Force
attrib +h "$env:USERPROFILE\.config"
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\fastfetch" -Force- Copy the example files from this repo into that folder (adjust paths if you run the command from a different location):
Copy-Item -Path .\fastfetch\* -Destination "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\fastfetch" -Recurse -ForceOr paste the files manually into %USERPROFILE%\.config\fastfetch.
- Verify
- Run
fastfetchin the terminal to verify it shows your custom ASCII clover and info:
fastfetch- Change the ASCII art: edit fastfetch/ascii.txt to replace the clover or add new ASCII art.
- Fastfetch config: edit fastfetch/config.jsonc to change colors, modules, order, and enable/disable sections.
- Terminal settings: tweak Comand Prompt/settings.json to change font, color scheme, background, and startup behavior.
- PowerShell profile: add aliases, environment variables, or automatic
fastfetchexecution in PowerShell/profile.ps1 or your$PROFILEfile. - Multiple ASCII sets: create multiple ASCII files in
%USERPROFILE%\.config\fastfetchand point yourconfig.jsoncat the desired file.
winget install fastfetchmay fail if the package id differs; install manually from the project's releases.- If you don't see hidden folders in Explorer, enable "Hidden items" or use
dir /ain PowerShell. - Ensure
fastfetchis on your PATH; reopen your terminal after installation.
After these steps, your Command Prompt should display Fastfetch output with the clover ASCII art.
