Gitmoji, a journey to commit like a hipster

Gitmoji, a journey to commit like a hipster

"TMP"
"Fix some bugs" "
I changed that shit"

This may bring back bad memories and that's why commit message conventions are important. As a developer you probably already applied them, but have you tried Emojis?

They are by nature expressive, very readable. I'll show you why there are useful and how to use them in your developer life to commit like a hipster 😎 !

  4. 👀 Predictability of the human eye Do you know F-Pattern?
