Scripts

This repo includes a few shell scripts for various batch tasks.

optimize-svgs.sh

Convert the given SVGs into an standard "optimized" format to reduce file size and ensure they work on every platform.

Depends on Inkscape and SVGO.

# Run on a specific SVG
./optimize-svg.sh my-icon.svg

# Run on all SVGs
./optimize-svg.sh **/*.svg

WARNING: This will change the structure of your SVG files and may ruin them! I suggest committing the original version of your icon to the repo before running this, and/or making a backup copy of it outside the repo first.

This script is a bit hacky, so if you can't this it working for your icon (e.g. if you just end up with a white or black square, or an invalid SVG), don't worry about it. Just contribute what you have.

check-svgs.sh

Checks for any unoptimized SVG files. Run this before deploying new icons to the website.

Depends on ripgrep.

colorize-svgs.sh

By default, all the provided icons in this repository have a white foreground on a black background. You may need them in other color combinations.

The colorize-svgs.sh script takes two optional arguments, the first one for the foreground color in hexadecimal, the second one for the background color also in hexadecimal or with the special value transparent.

# red on green
./colorize-svgs.sh '#f00' '#0f0'

# blue on transparent
./colorize-svgs.sh '#0011da' 'transparent'

The generated SVG files are created in the gitignored _out directory.

rasterize-svgs.sh

This script walks through the whole content of the _out directory and generates an optimized PNG file for every SVG file it encounters. So it means, that if you want to rasterize the default collection of white on black icons:

# first copy the default SVG file to "_out" directory
./colorize-svgs.sh

# then generate one PNG file for each SVG file
./rasterize-svgs.sh

Depending on the power of your machine, the execution of the script may take a while (no parallel executions yet).

rebuild_db.sh

This deletes and rebuilds the SQLite database icons.db from the contents of icons.sql. This is only necessary if you want to run an instance of the website yourself, or if you're a developer interested in querying the database.

Depends on SQLite 3.
