#2This has been posted a few times before and is an excellent resource.
It links to a GitHub repo [1] I made a while ago with every type of emoji as a separate file and commit as a fun and somewhat pointless demo.
However, for whatever reason the emojis on the repo stopped working (after a GitHub update?). Each emoji, regardless of commit message, is defaulting to the last one that was created (:zzz:). I reached out to GitHub a few times about it, but I never got a response. It's probably super low priority for them, but I thought I would share since, although minor, I technically broke GitHub.

#4> To add more color to your Git output: git config --global color.ui 1
Don't do this. The default (since 1.8.4) is auto, which adds colors if the output goes to a terminal, but doesn't if the output goes somewhere else (e.g., a pipe). That is probably what you want (and already have).
I fell for this myself at some point. Somehow expecting there to be more colors, or full color support, or something like that — Nope.

#5File Explorer by pressing "t" is my favorite shortcut on Github since nested file structure gets annoying after a while of looking around.

Github should definetely have more Emojis!
Emojis make everything a little bit fun.

The point of git is, that you do not need to do this. Just push.
