Add custom icons for .cu ( cuda) files

[basava70]

Hi, Thanks for the awesome plugin. I wanted to ask if there is a way to add custom icons for new file types not listed in the plugin. One way, I found is to add it to "lua/nvim-web-devicons.lua". But that would break any future updates. I was wondering if there is another intended way to add icons for new file types. Thanks in advance.

If that's widely recognised filetype and there is no already existing icon for the same extension we can add it here. PR welcome. :)

I don't think cuda is as heavily used as python or cpp. It's only used for parallel programming. As of now, I don't even see an existing file type. Which is why I thought it would probably cool to add a random Nvidia icon myself via this plugin if possible.

No thank you. Let's keep company logos out of this; there can be copyright and other legal issues when used without their permission.

Can you at least make it possible to add custom icons for new file types as part of customizing nvim-web-devicons ?

Of course, please see https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons#set-an-icon

Providing the icon is available to your terminal, you may set it.

Thanks for the reply. Probably a little late. But that set_icon only works to override an existing filetype is it not ?. I tried changing it for .cu files but i stll get the default icon for .cu filetype. Is there anything else I can try ?

It would help if you showed the code you written that doesn't work.

Nvm I made a minor mistake. It is working now. Thanks a ton :)
