My file icons stylesheets as a package
- Use only icons from Octicons (shipped with Atom)
- Use a simple color code (with a few exceptions when it make more sense, like for ruby files) which works as follow:
- green for source files
- yellow for template and stylesheet files
- cyan for documentation files (markdown, latex, pdf, etc.)
- blue for media files (images, videos, art software files, etc.)
- violet for data files (json, yml, csv, etc.)
- magenta for configuration files (.gitignore, .ruby-version, etc.) and scripts
- Use generic icons rather than trying to find one for each file extension (except when an icon in Octicons fit the file, like with ruby files)
