## What it is
Terminal-Icons is a PowerShell module that displays file and folder icons in the terminal using Nerd Fonts glyphs. It works via a custom format.ps1xml that maps file names and extensions to icons, with support for customizable icon and color themes.

## Use cases
- show file icons in PowerShell terminal
- make Get-ChildItem output prettier with icons
- customize terminal icon and color themes
- add nerd font icons to directory listings
- improve PowerShell console visual experience

## When to choose
- you use PowerShell on Windows, Linux, or macOS and want visual file icons
- you have Nerd Fonts installed and want richer terminal listings
- you want a simple Install-Module setup with theme support

## When to avoid
- you don't use PowerShell as your shell
- you can't install Nerd Fonts (icons won't render)
- you use a non-PowerShell shell like bash or zsh
