emoji commit messages - 01-28-20
Something code reviews can be a bit monotonous but I always found emojis spice things up a bit. Unfortunately my xterm based terminal does not support normal UTF-8 emojis. When pasted directly from apple emoji keyboard I get nothing. Today I sought out a solution to this and found you can simply use :wrench: like shortcodes, similar to how emojis are handled in slack. Seems to work for both gitlab and github!
Ex:
commit de3eb943b880c6f34e8398d22e6c7389e72cd30c

NOTICKET :sparkles: shared feature toggels POC
gitlab screencap
During this process I stumbled upon a open source project putting meaning behind the emojis in the development context.
