Windows Terminal Icons Package

I use Windows 10 at work, and even though I work in several linux environments at work and use linux at home, Windows has been doing some great things lately. I've switched completely from using Cmder to Windows Terminal. One thing I dislike is that it doesn't come with icons for the user to use when building profiles. You can see such discussion below, and push back from an actual MS employee below which was voted down to oblivion.

I decided to put some icons together, I think some need higher resolution, but is a good start for anyone without spending too much time looking for all the icons.

Lemme know what you think, and please feel free to submit new icons with a PR.

Below is a profile example, I use powershell to generate a new guid. New-Guid, and then use that in the json.

PS D:\git\windows-terminal-icons> New-Guid

Guid
---------
7c0578d1-35f0-46b5-972c-70b2293cff2c
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
{
    "guid": "{7c0578d1-35f0-46b5-972c-70b2293cff2c}",
    "hidden": false,
    "name": "Redis-Api",
    "commandline": "ssh fernandob@192.168.1.3",
    "icon": "C:/Path/To/Icons/WindowsTerminal/ubuntu.png"
},
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
