Script to make and move Emacs.app from homebrew emacs-mac to /Applications so that Spotlight can find it

make_emacs_app.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Script to create Emacs.app that will be placed in Applications folder.
# This is cobbled together from two sources. All credit to them, unless it
# doesn't work, in which case, errors are my fault:
#
# (1) https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport/blob/master/docs/emacs-start-helpers.md
# (2) https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/shell-script-mac-apps

# You may need to make the script executable on your machine. In terminal
# directory of this script:

# $ chmod +x make_emacs_app.sh

# (1) create an application that Spotlight will recogize from emacs-mac
osacompile -o Emacs.app \
    -e "tell application \"Finder\" to open POSIX file \"$(brew --prefix)/opt/emacs-mac/Emacs.app\""

# (2) move to /Applications
mv Emacs.app /Applications

# NB: To add icons
#
# 1. Copy Emacs.icns file images from /usr/local/opt/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources
# 2. Right-click the Emacs.app file and select “Get Info”
# 3. Select the app icon in the top left corner by clicking it once and paste
