# mkdf

This little tool creates a `.desktop` file at `~/.local/share/applications`

which contains only some Information.

Currently the user can decide on the following content:

* Visible name

* Executable path

* Optional Icon

## Why

I was annoyed by manually creating those files, since some applications don't

do it themselves.

## Installation

```shell

go get github.com/Bios-Marcel/mkdf

```

Make sure that `$GOPATH/bin` is part of your `PATH` variable or manually add

the binary to your path.

## Usage

Simply invoke the tool, it will guide you!
