Geared for dotfile and colorscheme tinkerers.
I wasn't satisfied by the existing emoji commit standards, because they are more geared towards coders than people just maintaining dotfiles and only occasionally contributing a bug report or a piece of documentation (e.g. I don't need an emoji for tests, because I don't do any).
Here is my own standard, modelled after my own usage (feel free to use it as well if you want):
- 🎬
:clapper:= Initial commit1 - 🆕
:new:= Add stuff - 🗑️
:wastebasket:= Remove stuff - ✏️
:pencil2:= Fix a typo or spelling mistake - 📄
:page_facing_up:= Add documentation - 🐛
:bug:= Fix a bug or anything that might unintentionally break my dotfiles or colorschemes - 🔧
:wrench:= Adjust, improve or perfect parts of existing config - 🎨
:art:= For cosmetic changes (e.g. changing some colors of a colorscheme) - ✨
:sparkles:= Add something fancy (e.g. something that makes the repo look cool, like badges or decorative images) - 🖼️
:framed_picture:= Add screenshot - ⏲️
:timer_clock:= A temporary change that will be undone e.g. once a problem is definitely solved - ❗
:exclamation:= A major change that makes the new version radically different from the previous ⚠️ :warning:= experiment (i.e. something I'm just trying out, that is a commit highly likely to be reverted)2.- 📦
:package:= A new release (for stuff that absolutely requires releases when you change anything at all)

- 1: Why most commit emoji standards use 🎉
:tada:instead is beyond me. After all, the initial commit isn't such a big deal, so the tada seems like premature celebration. I feel that an initial commit is the first step of a big endeavor, similar to how using the movie clapper for the first time used to signify the start of the movie project. - 2: Where is the test tube emoji when you need it?
