You can generate a Commit Template for creating commits messages easier.

Steps

$ node gitmoji.js > your/commit/template.txt
$ git config --global commit.template your/commit/template.txt

gitmoji.js

// Only if you are using Node.js
const fetch = require("node-fetch");

async function main() {
  const res = await fetch(
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carloscuesta/gitmoji/master/src/data/gitmojis.json"
  );
  let { gitmojis } = await res.json();

  gitmojis = gitmojis.sort((a, b) =>
    a.code < b.code ? -1 : a.code > b.code ? 1 : 0
  );

  let longestCode = 0;
  let longestDescription = 0;
  for (const { code, description } of gitmojis) {
    if (code.length > longestCode) longestCode = code.length;
    if (description.length > longestDescription)
      longestDescription = description.length;
  }

  let lines = gitmojis.map(
    ({ emoji, code, description }) =>
      `  ${emoji} ${code}${" ".repeat(
        longestCode - code.length
      )}  ${description}`
  );

  let longestLine = 0;
  for (const line of lines) {
    if (line.length > longestLine) longestLine = line.length;
  }

  const separator = "-".repeat(longestLine) + "--";

  const file = [separator, "Gitmojis", separator, ...lines, separator]
    .map((l) => `# ${l}`)
    .join("\n");

  console.log(file);
