Nay. I'm clearly against this, and I don't find this kind of addition to the git ecosystem productive.
And hopefully that won't translate into me being "hostile" towards women in tech, just because this was proposed by a woman.

Not to mention that a non-emoji based tagging scheme (e.g. “[bug]”, “[UI]”, etc.) would likely have the same effect (if there is any) that the author purports.
Plus the benefit of not being ambiguous like a lipstick emoji :)
I'd actually interpret that as "lipstick on a pig", or just "[hack]". I'm honestly not sure what its intentions are.
Which I guess is one of the problems with this suggestion.

> Emoji are hard to type on non-mobile platforms On Windows they are easy: + . Finding the right emoji is easier than on my Android phone as Windows lets me type the emoji name. Why emoji search is missing on Android... who knows.
Depends on the keyboard you use, with gboard you can search for emojis.
Ah thanks. I'm using SwiftKey Keyboard. I found I am faster typing with it than Gboard. Perhaps time to try again.

#55I like it! I agree with many of the objections in other comments, but used wisely emojis in commit messages can definitely add value. 1. They add easy noticeable visual cues that might otherwise require reading a full sentence (at that often will be omitted altogether). 2. It's fun and informal, something that's often lacking in dev teams.
It’s fun and informal until somebody tells you it’s mandatory.
Huh, that's a good point!

TL;DR: A company is publishing a lot of articles through 12 different advent calendars this holiday season.

#58I have tried to use Gitmoji and other standards before on a few projects but I have since stopped. The motivation behind it makes a lot of sense but I can count the number of instances where I have used the emojis as a cue to find problematic commits with one hand.
That being said, I never really thought about the point about forcing you to ensure your commit is atomic. I definitely have become better at it but the habit has stuck even after using Gitmoji.

No, it's all from the same guy, and every post seems to get linked here.

> Please use good ol' plaintext I want to emphasize on that. Why do programmers like plaintext, often to the point of wanting ASCII instead of unicode despite its international awesomeness? That's because we are called when things break down in the machinery. Monospace ASCII may look boring, but it has a precious characteristic: there is (almost) 1-to-1 mapping between the inner representation of a character and its…
Only programmers from English-speaking countries like ASCII. There are millions of us living in other countries who are thankful that Unicode exists, and who are constantly annoyed that a some of our tools don't support it well enough. As someone who grew up bilingual in a country where it's not uncommon for people to speak three or more languages, I hate the idea of being prevented from using one of the languages I…
I'm not from an English-speaking country, but also like ASCII.
It works without setting $LANG, $LC_ALL, ':set enc=utf-8', 'use utf8' and who knows what else.
