In your terminal, run brew tap eatspaint/pkdir; brew install pkdir
For updates, run brew update and then brew upgrade pkdir
Use pkdir just as you would use mkdir, but get Pokémon instead of boring folder icons.
pkdir <name> [-n]
<name> can be a new directory, or an existing file or directory
[-n] is an optional 3 digit flag to select a specific pokémon, by number
You can also run pkdir -h for help with commands.
pkdir ~/Desktop/my_folder -006
Wow, there's a cool Pokémon on my desktop, thanks eatspaint!
Because of the fileicon bash script used, this project is currently OSX only. If anyone is interested in getting this running for Linux as well, let me know and we can collaborate on a solution!
Thanks to mklement0 for fileicon, DragonFlyCave for the sprites, and Pokémon for my childhood.
