      7 [**Tofu**][tofu] is an easy-to-use, open-source, two-factor
      8 authentication app designed specifically for iOS, made by
      9 [Calle Luks][calle]. I adopted it after migrating from Authy,
     10 and ended up overhauling its icon system.

     14 It's a really well designed app:

     18 When I migrated to Tofu, it had a limited number of hand-designed
     19 icons in one big [Sketch file][sketch]. Each icon was created and
     20 exported manually. I set out to [simplify][issue] the process, and
     21 Calle [proposed][proposal] we create a shell script to generate
     22 icons on-demand from a folder of pngs.
     23 
     24 I got my shell hat on and a week later, [my pull request][pr]
     25 was commited to upstream with a brand new bash script. [The
     26 script][script] iterates over a given directory using `sed`
     27 and [regex][post] to grab the names of each png inside and add
     28 them to Xcode's assets folder. It uses a [heredoc][heredoc] as
     29 a template for the new imageset's JSON, and the `sips` cli to
     30 generate properly sized icons for use in the app.

     32 Contributing to open source projects is incredibly fun. If you've
     33 got a free weekend, take some time to hack on your favorite codebase.
     34 Big thanks to [Calle][calle] for creating such an awesome app – I
     35 look forward to collaborating more in the future.
