What is Terminal-Icons?
Terminal-Icons is a PowerShell module that enhances terminal file listings by displaying appropriate icons for files and folders. It improves visual navigation and organization in terminal environments by leveraging custom glyphs from Nerd Fonts. The module works by using a custom format.ps1xml file to inspect items and prepend icons based on name, extension, or well-known file types.
PowerShell users who work extensively in terminal environments and want to improve visual navigation and file identification, particularly those using Nerd Fonts in terminals like VSCode, ConEmu, or Terminus.
Developers choose Terminal-Icons for its seamless integration with PowerShell commands like Get-ChildItem and its theme support, allowing customization of icon and color sets. Its unique selling point is bridging the gap between text-based terminal listings and modern graphical interfaces within the PowerShell ecosystem.
