gitmoji VS gitmoji-cli

Gitmoji uses emojis to indicate the type of change.

I won't recommend it specifically, but I recommend to have a standard. I prefer a standard that I don't like rather than a not having a standard. Other options that I remember:

- The kernel patch descriptions: https://kernelnewbies.org/PatchPhilosophy. Used by the repository that Git was created for (the Linux kernel) and Git itself;

- Gitmoji: https://gitmoji.dev/, similar to conventional commits but using emoji

Personally we may like them or not. But again, even though I don't like it, I would a history with ": do foo in bar" instead of a history with a lot of commits only named "fix", "now it works" and things like that.

Based on the usage described above, Gitmoji has the same unbuild setup, the below is the Gitmoji package.json

This prompt defines the format of commit messages according to Conventional Commits with the addition of emoji (gitmoji). It consists of the following elements:

This GH CLI extension implements the Angular convention for commit types, combined with gitmojis. It does not support scopes, or message bodies. For feedback, suggestions and bug reports, please open an issue.

Sidenote: If you're more the picture-type, you could think about using gitmoji as types.

I'm not sure how new the trend is, but it's called gitmoji (https://gitmoji.dev/) and there's also tooling to make committing/searching for the "correct" emoji easier :D Whatever makes your job more fun, right? Oh and it saves on characters!

While there is gitmoji-cli, there are times when I just want to use another emoji that has not been incorporated into the gitmoji project. For example, I may use a cookie (🍪) when writing a commit message related to work on HTTP cookies, or a vomiting face (🤮) for a commit which adds a lot of debug statements.

Then, you have to enter them. Tools exist for this, for example among others, the official site which allows you to copy and paste the gitmoji codes or directly the emojis (the CTRL+F greatly increases the search speed); or a tool in CLI; or a browser extension ✌️ make life more convenient. Others are also available and listed on a page of the official website.
