Folderify: Generate macOS folder icons natively

You install it using Homebrew, point Folderify at an image file using a simple Terminal command, and it spits out a macOS-style folder icon with that image on it.
I can’t believe I didn’t know this existed.
Project github: https://github.com/lgarron/folderify
Usage:
shell
% brew install folderify
% folderify ~/Downloads/company_logo.webp ~/CompanyI got our company logo lazily with Google Images + filtering for transparent
images. .webp worked just fine, .png would have worked as well.
The end result is really nice. It’s a small modification that sparks joy.
