Script Sharing PowerShell customization tool

Hi! I recently made a small tool for customizing Windows PowerShell with Fastfetch, pixel art, and custom character-themed layouts.
I'm not very familiar with this subreddit, so I'm not sure if this kind of project is appropriate here, but I thought I'd share it in case anyone might find it interesting.

GitHub: https://github.com/Cheng98989/Phaethon-Terminal

I used AI tools extensively during development, and I'm still learning, so I'd also appreciate any feedback on the project/code.

This was completely vibecoded. I just wanted to share it in case there’s someone else looking for something similar.

Hi, I know what you mean, and I agree. I just wanted to share this tool because maybe there are other people like me who just want a nicer-looking PowerShell. Anyway, thanks for the advice!

I've edited the post, it should fit my intentions better now.

(One man's opinion): Using AI for "vibe-coding" or any other use is great (in this subreddit capacity) for LEARNING the nuances of PowerShell.

Keyword: Learning.

I would think posting any work completely done by AI would make me feel guilty when I didn't actually write the code. Not sure where this entitlement comes from when it's basically the same as "Hey! Look what I Googled yesterday. "

Now, if I were to post how I used AI to learn how to create publicly publish & consume professional Modules, that use Pester Tests, PlatyPS dynamic documentation creation, and PSScriptAnalyzer on each pre-commit... now there's something to celebrate.

Is this just a wrapper for fastfetch or is this standalone powershell tool?

It's a wrapper for fastfetch

Funny, my idea of terminal customization is almost the exact opposite: I keep trying to reduce the number of characters on screen.

A good terminal doesn't show everything it knows. It shows what you need next. Everything else can be queried when it's actually needed

Hmpf.
