I absolutely love using emojis in things like build pipelines or documentation. I find a list like this:
- Run Tests
- Lint
- Build artefact
Is a whole lot easy to read when it has emojis:
- ๐งช Run tests
- ๐ Lint
- ๐ Build artefact
The emojis give very quick identifiable reference points - in what otherwise might look like a wall of text.
So what are your favourite emojis to use for common terms?
Here's some of mine:
| Emoji | Meaning | Notes | 
|---|---|---|
| ๐งช ๐ฉ๐พโ๐ฌ | Test | It can be good to have different emojis for different test types | 
| ๐ท ๐ | Build | |
| โ๏ธ ๐ง | Configure | |
| ๐ฆ | Artefact | |
| ๐ ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ | Inspect/Lint | |
| ๐ฎ๐ผ | Type Check | Or any other strict/grumpy check | 
| ๐ฉโ๐ฆฏ | Lint | 'Lets check for things that might trip us up' | 
| ๐จโ๐ค | Formatting | 'They're an artist' | 
| ๐ | Security check on dependencies | |
| ๐ฉ๐ผโ๐พ | User | |
| ๐ง | Admin | |
| ๐งโโ๏ธ | Manager |
