Off Topic: Your commits are all prefixed with emojis, which is useful when trying to determine (at a glance) which file was changed with which commit. Are you choosing your own emojis, or is it automated with a `commit-msg` git hook?

I pick them randomly, sometimes I try to find something relevant to change but not in this project.

Personally, I hate that [1]. Among many trends on the Internet the excessive use of unnecessary Unicode characters in a log that is supposed to give you an idea of the progress of a project is certainly... Well, as I said, unnecessary. I don't know who came up with this idea (was it GitHub's Atom project?) but every time I find a project on GitHub [2] I immediately start to judge the author(s) decisions and the seriousness of the project. I understand that everyone is free to manage their project as they please, and the following statement will probably affect my career in the future, but I sincerely hope to never come across a job where my co-workers praise this... I don't even know how to call it... standard? Very interesting project nonetheless. [1] https://i.imgur.com/Xek7ZVV.png https://i.imgur.com/Xek7ZVV.png [2] Haven't seen this anywhere else.

  I don't do that in my professional work, I do that only in my personal projects. It's just my project so I guess I set the rules here ;)

  If you just want these to show up on GitHub specifically, you can use the friendly names like `:ring:`, `:art:`, etc. Then there's no Unicode anywhere but GitHub will still show the emoji. That's how `atom` committers do it.

    Good idea, didn't know about that.

This is a horrible idea... There isn't a tool that just prefixes the filename that changed for you in a commit log? Why do you need to dirty up the commit messages with all this visual noise? (nice project though)
