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 |
