A CLI tool for finding Font Awesome Icons

Font Awesome CLI Tool

• So, what is this?

  It's a ruby script that prints out all the free font-awesome icons, and lets you fuzzy-find the one you want.

• How do I use it?

  Download fa-icons, put it somewhere in your $PATH, chmod +x, and type fa-icons in your terminal

• Dependencies?

  Oh, yeah, you need fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) and a terminal using a patched font (https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts). I use kitty, but you can use whatever.

• Can I change the output format?

  Yeah, use the --format option with html, slim, or rails. You can also change the default on line 22.

• I want you to add another format!

  That's not a question, but you can go ahead an open a pull request with the format you want.

• So what's it look like in action?

• What's the black text off to the right?

  Font Awesome made some search terms, and I left those in so fzf could use them. But that's pretty much it. It's not really important to look at them.

• Is it done?

  No. I've got a few more things I wanna add, but this is 90% there.
