Type commit message, get suggested gitmoji

I’m pretty new to gitmoji, and it seems like a pretty good idea that’s missing some tooling to encourage adoption. The concerns raised in #352 very much apply to me at the moment, and suggestions like #347 and #314 could help. Another thing that I personally would find helpful is a little text input I can type a commit message into and get suggested gitmoji.

For example, if my message is Update docker image for integration tests, after typing that in I would expect to see a list including 🐳, 💚, ⬆️ along with some short explanations, maybe right above or below it.

Then I could click one (…or more? Do people do multiple gitmoji? Sorry, I’m new 😄) and its colon-markup would be prepended to the message I had typed, and then the whole thing could be copied into my clipboard.

Does this make sense? Is this a stupid idea? Too hard to implement? I would be concerned that the list of words/tags/regex might be annoying to maintain, but maybe it wouldn’t be too bad after an initial push…

Have you tried using gitmoji-cli ?

Thanks for proposal, I agree the hinting could be improved but as you suggested this is an issue for gitmoji-cli repo. Mention of gitmoji-cli is on the front page of github repo https://github.com/carloscuesta/gitmoji#using-gitmoji-cli which is good enough I think. If you want to include it in the web, feel free to post a PR.
