A changelog generator for gitmoji convention

gitmoji

It is a commit message convention created by Carlos Cuesta 😎. It describes the purpose of this convention on gitmoji's repository on GitHub:

Gitmoji is an initiative to standardize and explain the use of emojis on GitHub commit messages.

Using emojis on commit messages provides an easy way of identifying the purpose or intention of a commit with only looking at the emojis used. As there are a lot of different emojis I found the need of creating a guide that can help to use emojis easier.

gitmoji-changelog

With Benjamin Petetot and Fabien Juif we worked on a command line tool that generates changelog files for javascript projects following gitmoji convention. We simply named it gitmoji-changelog 😀.
