🎨 Adding New Icons

1. Firstly crop the SVG icon you want to add using SVGCrop.com to ensure that there is no unnecessary space around the icon
2. Place your SVG files in the /icons/raw directory and rename them in a consistent way according to other pre-existing icons
3. Run the optimization script which automatically moves the icons from /icons/raw folder to /icons folder after optimization:

   npm run optimize-svgs
   

4. Update the icons data for every icon in the /lib/iconsData.ts file in a consistent way according to rest of the data and arrange them in alphabetical order
5. Build the project to generate the new icon components:

   npm run build
   

6. Run the playground environment to add and test the newly added/changed icon components

   npm run dev:playground
   

7. If everything looks good, push the changes and create a Pull Request
