Should gitmoji be codes or actual emoji characters?

See original GitHub issue

Hello 😎!

Gitmoji seems like a pretty good idea,

however one thing confuses me: Are commit messages supposed to contain codes (such as :bug:) or actual emoji characters (such as 🐛)? What is the accepted practice?

I’ve gone through git log of this repository with terminal (which does not replace any emoji codes) and some commits contained codes while other contained emoji characters.

@KaKi87 well, it appears that Windows terminal supports Unicode (and Emojis) in recent versions.

In addition, more and more tools will move to supporting Emojis as time passes.

As for the Emoji choice, I’m not imposing anything. As I said, feel free to customize it to your needs.

Git Emoji Hook is based on Angular’s commit rules and replaced the commit type text based flag by an Emoji. The choice is arbitrary, but that’s just me, I never pretended to follow Gitmoji’s conventions.

@Buzut Really like the project that you have created ⭐ Be aware that it doesn’t follow the gitmoji syntax. Since I’m a developer I always have a browser tab open on my second screen so it is really fast to get the emoji using the browser extension🚀
