There are several files whose specific purpose to is initialise things
when you start new shells in various ways.

Check out:

   /etc/bash.bashrc
   /etc/profile
   ~/.bashrc
   ~/.profile
   ~/.bash_profile 
   ~/.bash_login

Read the "INVOCATION" section of "man bash" for information on when
these files are executed. Since some of them call others of them, It
all gets a bit convoluted :-)

The short answer you probably want is to append a call to neofetch to
your ~/.bashrc file:

   echo >> ~/.bashrc
   echo neofetch >> ~/.bashrc
