Gitmoji, a journey to commit like a hipster

"TMP"
"Fix some bugs" "
I changed that shit"

This may bring back bad memories and that's why commit message conventions are important. As a developer you probably already applied them, but have you tried Emojis?

They are by nature expressive, very readable. I'll show you why there are useful and how to use them in your developer life to commit like a hipster 😎 !

1. 😎 A journey to commit like a hipster
2. 🖖 Hello! @spontoreau Sylvain Pontoreau How it’s going 🌹 ⚔ 😐 How it started -<@ O=|====> o_o Emo(ticons/jis), I’m in that business since 1998 © And I like to do funny things with them 😬 🎪 Co-organizer 📕 Book writer Microsoft 󰳕 Work with
3. 🤔 what is the problem?
4. 💬 Commit messages… (The guy who left the company) Friday afternoon: (You, trying to understand what is going on…) Monday morning, outage on prod:
5. 😞 But it’s not that easy! (Maybe you everyday) (The guy who’s joining your team)
6. 📘 Convention to the rescue The conventional commits specification
7. 📚 Conventional Commits A set of rules for creating explicit commit history • How it works: Format types(context): message Breaking changes ! • Types can be extended easily (impr, chore, refactor, perf, docs, …) • Automation made simple (changelog, semantic versioning, …) Types fix / feat
8. 💩 Is Conventional Commits bad?
9. 👀 Predictability of the human eye Do you know F-Pattern? • In text-heavy content, most humans scan information by making an “F” • F-Pattern is bad for user • Optimize horizontal movement of the eye is a key point • This is why Conventional Commits specification is not that great
10. ❓ Why consider emojis instead? (No need to explain what it stands for) First, the are super expressive! 🎉 ✅ 📱 🚧 💩 🐛 🗑
11. 🎉 Tada! ✅ Test are ok! 🚧 We are working on it! 🗑 Let’s drop that! 🐛 It’s not working 👁 Why consider emojis instead? Where is the bug? 👀 Your eyes directly look here Secondly, they optimize reading! 😉 Optimized scan
