"github_readme_excerpt": "# sketchybar-app-font\n\nA ligature-based symbol font and a mapping function for sketchybar, inspired by simple-bar\u0027s usage of community-contributed minimalistic app icons.\nPlease feel free to contribute icons or add applications to the mappings through PRs.\n\nIf you can\u0027t contribute yourself, open an [icon request issue](https://github.com/kvndrsslr/sketchybar-app-font/issues/new/choose) \u2014 someone from the community may pick it up. Note that the maintainer is not committed to working on those requests personally.\n\nAll PRs are merged as quickly as possible. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for the full contribution guide.\n\n## CLI Usage\n\n```bash\n# install dependencies\npnpm install\n# - build the files\n# - install the font to: $HOME/Library/Fonts/sketchybar-app-font.ttf\n# - install the icon map script to: $HOME/.config/sketchybar/icon_map.sh\npnpm run build:install\n# - build the files\n# - install the font to: $HOME/Library/Fonts/sketchybar-app-font.ttf\n# - replace the icon map function in the given script\n# NOTE: On macOS, omit the -- separator to avoid argument parsing issues\npnpm run build:install $HOME/.config/sketchybar/scripts/my-script.sh\n# same as build:install but watches changes to files in ./svgs and ./mappings and refires\npnpm run build:dev\npnpm run build:dev $HOME/.config/sketchybar/scripts/my-script.sh\n```\n\n## Configure Sketchybar\n\n### Using icon_map.sh\n\n```bash\nsource ./path/to/icon_map.sh\n\n__icon_map \"${app_name}\"\nsymbol_ligature=\"${icon_result}\"\n```\n\n### Set up auto-replacing the icon map function in your own script\n\n1. Mark where the function should be inserted to:\n\n```bash\n### START-OF-ICON-MAP\n# Here be the function\n### END-OF-ICON-MAP\n```\n\n2. Run the install script with the argument pointing at the path of the file that has the markers:\n\n```bash\n# NOTE: On macOS, omit the -- separator\npnpm run build:install $HOME/.config/sketchybar/scripts/my-script.sh\n```\n\n### Batch lookup\n\n`icon_map.sh` can also be called directly with multiple app names if you ",
