About Gitmoji
Gitmoji is a reference guide that pairs emoji with the types of changes in a commit message. It gives teams one shared set of symbols, so commit history is easier to scan.
What it does
The site lists each emoji with its short code and a plain meaning, such as a bug for a fix, a sparkle for a new feature or a memo for documentation. You add the emoji at the start of a commit message to show what kind of change it holds. The goal is to make history easier to read at a glance.
Key features
- Emoji list with short codes
- Clear meaning for each emoji
- Copy the emoji or its code
- Suited to GitHub commit messages
- Open source project
Who it's for
Gitmoji suits teams that want a light commit convention without strict rules. It is useful for maintainers who review many commits, and for new contributors who need a quick reference.
Pricing and good to know
The project is open source under the MIT license and free to use. It is a reference site rather than a program, so there is nothing to install. It only sets a shared vocabulary, so teams still need to agree on when to use each emoji.
