Add :robot: for files generated or updated automatically with a script

Hello @carloscuesta 😎!

• Emoji: 🤖
• Code: :robot:
• Description:
  • I have seen workflows where a lot of files need to be auto-generated using custom scripts.
  • For instance, at my workplace we use a script to generate React Icon Components from SVG files.
  • In such situations where the change was auto-generated, this emoji would be extremely helpful to display a script- generated change.
  • An example commit might look like so:
    • 🤖 Auto-generate icon component for new plus icon

I think the idea for this gitmoji is to be used within CIs or bots that automatically generate commits and push them to a repository.

Let’s say that for example, you have a workflow that once you publish a release, a changelog file is generated from a GitHub Action and the changes are published into the master branch.

I understand the reason why you thought about this! However, instead what I would do is trying to categorise the commits that the script is doing using the proper gitmoji, for example:

For instance, at my workplace we use a script to generate React Icon Components from SVG files.

Why instead of using the 🤖 that is actually indicating that the commit was made from an automation we don’t use 🍱which is the emoji for indicating that some assets were updated?

In my opinion, this approach is better as you’re expressing the intention of the commit, no matter who the author is 😊

I really think that 🤖 is quite appropriate for script-generated changes, since package doesn’t adequately convey the message.

If understanding the change requires reading the description of the emoji, then that defeats the purpose altogether, right?

Yet, I think that you surely know better and if you think that we shouldn’t go ahead with this, then I’ll just go ahead and close the issue.
