## Usage

1. Download or clone the repo.

2. Pass the name of your Application and an image file for the icon.

		$ ./setup.sh MyNewApp app-icon.svg

3. Then just copy the binary file into the folder

		$ cp mybinary MyNewApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyNewApp

## Icon formats:

The image file can be `.svg` (recomended), `.png`, `.gif`, `.jpg`, or `.tiff` format.

It's recomended your `.app` have a GUI if you want to interact with a user (since the terminal is not shown).
