To install, use brew:

brew install folderify

Then, to add an icon to a directory, just use the following command:

folderify mask.png /path/to/folder

For example, I've used this PNG image for the directory where I have all my source code:

Source code icon

Then I run:

folderify source_code.png $HOME/Documents/sc

Running folderify on the Terminal

Et voi là! I have a nice icon for that directory. ❤️
