>You should also start your commit message with one applicable emoji I don't think many people will contribute with a rule like that. Project is neat though.

I was thinking the exact opposite actually. I like how easy you can get a feel for the latest commits just by seeing the emoji, which is excellent! More people should enforce rules like this.

>I don't think many people will contribute with a rule like that Why do you think that is?

  Because emoji are tacky. You want to use them in your commit message? Fine. But if I were ever contribute to a project that enforces such a rule I would start every commit with the middle finger emoji.

    It's his project. He can be tacky, if he wants to. If you don't like it, fork it. I don't like emojis, but I have even less regard for how boring the internet has become.

    Isn't tackiness heavily context, culture, and timeframe dependent? Besides, computing is far too serious these days . I see no reason for my computing to be a little bit whimsical (especially if it's a hobby project), provided it's also self-consistent.

        I believe the opposite: that there is sometimes the right place, the right project/people, and the right time to be whimsical. So not always, but also not never (as an abolitionist stance would see it).

        Well I do have to admit that in this particular instance it is just as silly as the project itself, so it does fit.

    I don't think it's out of place on a project about cool window effects which many would also consider tacky.

  It increases barrier of entry with something that is really arbitrary and not easy to remember unless you have a cheat-sheet in front of you. I have lots of commit rules in all my projects but they're simple, straightforward, and easy to remember because they're useful and commonplace. eg "Short one-line commit message, more details in the paragraph beneath it, atomic commits with single change per commit, no individual commit breaks the tests".
  - Firehawke 5y ago
    If you can't remember that the "silly" project has a "silly rule" in place, and you won't remember any time you look at "git log" results, then I really don't know what to tell you.
  - selfhoster11 5y ago
    That's simple enough: have a text file with the emoji saved somewhere handy, or use a text macro expander to replace :colon_style_markup: with real emoji. If you don't already have an emoji input widget on hand, that is.

    They're not actually emoji; they're shortcodes that get rendered out to emoji in the Github interface.
