Description
Hey!
How about someone (who isn't horrible at drawing things, like myself) create a customized icon for the config files: .simple-git-hooks.cjs, .simple-git-hooks.js, simple-git-hooks.cjs, simple-git-hooks.js, .simple-git-hooks.json or simple-git-hooks.json?
Then it would be used with the amazing vscode-icons extension.
It's not a big deal, and it doesn't add any kind of new functionality, but it looks really nice! This is what I mean - below is a project of mine, and my vscode has vscode-icons installed:

.simple-git-hooks.json is the only file without a custom icon, it's showing the default JSON icon.
I thought about just opening a PR there and adding the files to use the default git icon but I think it should be different. Like the same icon with a little hook added to the lower right corner, maybe?
Like I said, I have zero talent for this kind of thing, but if anyone out there is willing to give it a shot... Here are the guidelines for creating an icon for the extension.
Thanks!

Start with the linked vscode-icons Contributing guidelines and review the six listed simple-git-hooks filenames and the example image. Done means a custom icon proposal covering those filenames is submitted to vscode-icons and they no longer use the default JSON icon.
