How do you get the Apple logo and system information on terminal start?

The application is called neofetch.

On macOS you can install it with Homebrew via brew install neofetch.

Hey Matthias! Thanks for sharing neofetch!

I noticed in the iTerm2 screenshot above, it appears as if the OS (apple) logo is the old school rainbow logo? If so do you happen to know what the unicode (/u) code is or where I can find that?
Thanks

I'm a year late...

You could search the source code of neofetch.

It's at the bottom of the file.

This is the art:

${c1}                    c.'
                 ,xNMM.
               .OMMMMo
               lMMM"
     .;loddo:.  .olloddol;.
   cKMMMMMMMMMMNWMMMMMMMMMM0:
${c2} .KMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMWd.
 XMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMX.
${c3};MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM:
:MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM:
${c4}.MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMX.
 kMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMWd.
 ${c5}'XMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMk
  'XMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMK.
    ${c6}kMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMd
     ;KMMMMMMMWXXWMMMMMMMk.
       "cooc*"    "*coo'"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Everything after ${c} will be colored a different color for each number. I don't know what the colors are though.
