I have a question about using neofetch. As per instructions here, neofetch can be used with a custom config file from the CLI in this way (as an example):

neofetch --config home/UserAbc/Downloads/file_config.txt

The installation is described here but they dont mention how to custom config file.

Does the config file need to have a *.sh file format? eg. must the config file be saved as file_config.sh or can it be saved as file_config.txt?

On neofetch's first run the config file is created in $HOME/.config/neofetch/config. You can also copy the default config from /usr/share/neofetch/config. Finally you can also grab the config file from the github repo, here's the link to the config file for the latest release.

You shouldn't create the config file from scratch since you won't know what to fill it with. :)

I'll update the Readme to explain this better so that other users don't have this issue in the future.

I hope this helps.
