Abstract

Gitmoji is an emoji guide for GitHub commit messages. Aims to be a standardization cheatsheet - guide for using emojis on GitHub's commit messages. is a nice way to standardize commit messages with emojis.

There is already a nice gitmoji-cli command line interface available. Nevertheless, I was searching a nice project to get a bit more into golang so this cli was born. There are some feature differences between both projects.

Per default the format is conventional-commits with emoji <type>[optional scope]: :smile: <description>

Installation

⚠️ Currently the package is in state alpha please be aware that some functionality may change and some bugs may happen.

brew

brew tap AndreasAugustin/go-gitmoji-cli https://github.com/AndreasAugustin/go-gitmoji-cli
brew install AndreasAugustin/go-gitmoji-cli/go-gitmoji-cli

Remark ⚠️

When you receive an error like This repository is configured for Git LFS but 'git-lfs' was not found on your path you most likely have git-lfs installed globally. Do the following

git lfs uninstall
# <cd to the repo, which uses lfs>
git lfs install --local

github issue

Aur

The package is located here

pamac update -a
pamac install go-gitmoji-cli-bin

Docker

The image is available within 2 docker registries available. Just pull the image to have a local test setup available. To use it, mount the current dir into the working dir.

• dockerhub
• ghcr

# available <tag> are the git tags

# docker hub
# pull the image
docker pull andyaugustin/go-gitmoji-cli:<tag>
# run the container -> will open a zsh session
# note: the local volume mount is missing in the sample command
docker run -it andyaugustin/go-gitmoji-cli:<tag>

# if you prefer ghcr instead of docker hub
# docker pull ghcr.io/andreasaugustin/go-gitmoji-cli:<tag>
# docker run -it ghcr.io/andreasaugustin/go-gitmoji-cli:<tag>

Go

 go install github.com/AndreasAugustin/go-gitmoji-cli@latest

Manual

Configuration

It is possible to configure the cli either with a .go-gitmoji-cli.json file within the repo directory or with command line flags. Environment variables are supported (case insensitive). The key is the same like the parameter with a prefix GO_GITMOJI_CLI_. All parameters are able to be modified with flags.

parameter	description	default
auto_add	perform automatically a git add .	false
auto_sign	automatically sign commits (can also be configured with git git config -g commit.gpgsign=true	false
auto_signature	automatically add signature to commits	true
emoji_format	format of emojis code/emoji	code
scope_prompt	Prompt for adding the commit scope	false
body_prompt	Prompt for adding the commit message body	false
capitalize_title	If set to true the commit title description will be capitalized	false
gitmojis_url	The URL of the gitmojis database	https://gitmoji.dev/api/gitmojis
use_default_git_messages	Use the default git messages (merge, squash, ammend,..)	true
debug	enable debug mode	false

The configuration values can be changed with

go-gitmoji-cli config [-g]

This will create a file within the local directory or within the OS related config directory (when -g flag is enabled). Reading will follow the following order:

• default values
• global config if exists
• local config if exists
• environment variables
• command flags

Usage

Proxy

The cli is firing at first usage or with the update gitmojis command a http query to the configured gitmoji api url to receive a list of available gitmojis. The cli is using net/http package which is per default respecting the standard system proxy settings done with environment variables.

• HTTP_PROXY
• HTTPS_PROXY
• NO_PROXY

basic commands

# show available commands
go-gitmoji-cli --help

# show the version
go-gitmoji-cli --version

# list the available gitmojis
go-gitmoji-cli list gitmojis

# list the available commit types
go-gitmoji-cli list commit-types

Commit

There are 2 ways making commits with the tool

• hooks go-gitmoji-cli hooks --help. With that command it is possible to install a commit hook. To use the hook, just do a git commit <options>. This will trigger the cli.
• commit go-gitmoji-cli commit --help. It is not possible to use this command when you have installed a hook.

# doing a commit with dry-run
go-gitmoji-cli commit --dry-run

Some arguments and flags you know from git will be reused. The first message will be parsed and the single parts will be reused. E.g. git commit -S -m "feat(api)!: :smile: also just parts of the message will be reused" -m "this is a message body" This is also true when the go-gitmoji-cli commit -S -m "..." -m "..." is used.

Debugging

There is a flag --debug enabling verbose logging

DEV

The development environment targets are located in the Makefile

make help

Deployments

A push/merge to main branch is triggering the deployment. The release action can be found here
