This is a temporary copy of the "How to change your splash screen" thread from Doom's former Discourse site. It will remain up until the new community wiki (at wiki.doomemacs.org) has been published.
Doom's splash screen is the first thing you see if you have the :ui dashboard module enabled. Do you want to change the banner? Add to the menu? Perhaps make your own radical customizations? This guide outlines how to do so.
The Doom community switched from Discourse (formerly discourse.doomemacs.org) to Github Discussions in 2025. The Discourse was kept in read-only mode until it was shut down on August 30, 2026. However, there were many helpful posts on the Discourse that I didn't want to simply delete, so I've saved, updated, and reformatted some of them into Gists until docs.doomemacs.org and wiki.doomemacs.org are finished.
Important
Remember that Doom's official documentation can be accessed from within Doom using M-x doom/help.

When issues arise (and this is Emacs, they will), it pays to know how to use the diagnostic tools that are available to you.

When Doom Emacs (or your sleepness nights tinkering at your config) cause Emacs to misbehave, you may not know where to start looking. This is where git bisect comes in; this powerful tool will walk you through your git history and help you isolate the commit where the problem was introduced. This guide will walk you through understanding and using git bisect.

Doom has adopted conventional commits (with a few minor tweaks). I summarize it here, temporarily, until our new documentation is up.
