## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

fileicon is a macOS command-line utility for setting, removing, extracting, and testing custom icons on files and folders.

### Projektgeschichte

fileicon began with an initial v0.1.0 release on August 3, 2015. Its README and generated manual explain that it provides a programmatic alternative to using Finder for custom icons, storing icon data through macOS filesystem metadata.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

The README documents Homebrew, npm, and manual installation. Its changelog credits Homebrew formula availability in late 2019 and later macOS compatibility work for Monterey and Ventura-era behavior.

### Wie es verwendet wird

The CLI exposes set, rm, get, and test subcommands. Users provide a target file or folder and, for set, an image file; the tool creates square icon representations and applies macOS custom-icon metadata.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

fileicon is a good example of package managers distributing a narrow macOS automation tool that wraps platform-specific metadata behavior behind a scriptable CLI, with both Homebrew and npm installation paths documented by the maintainer.

### Zeitleiste

- 2015: Initial v0.1.0 release.
- 2017: v0.2.0 added macOS High Sierra support and changed icon generation internals.
